I have a particular rotary switch with an about 2mm thick stem. It is
made of some sort of steel. The stem on it is broken. It is an 11
position switch, kinda hard to find although I have seen 11 position
rotary switches (whose positions do not match the markings on the
device).

I would like to know if there is a simple way of mending that
switch. Maybe silver brazing or using some sort of a drill and tap
mini screw with loktite. Any thoughts on this?

thanks

How long is it, and does it go through a panel or plate (with the switch
behind) ?

If it actually is 2mm ( 0.0787 inch) an 0-80 tap is about .060 - leaves
about a .009 wall thickness... I think it would just break again...

How about a sleeve or bushing around it with epoxy in it...?

Ooops... just checked before posting and Tom beat me to it with an
additional idea as well...
