Take a couple pictures, any part numbers, and some basic dimensions into
your local electronics supplier (not Rat Shack, but you might get lucky!)
and get it fixed right. Replace the switch with new and eliminate all worry
about the subject. If not, post the pictures and whatnot and someone will
do a little bit of legwork and point you to a source if you can't find one
on the web, as there's a billion sources for multiposition, multipole,
stacked switches.
You'll expend more effort and resources trying to get it wrong than
getting it right.

| BEAUTIFUL, THANKS!
|
| I am very happy. Turns out that in fact some of my units already have
| connectors and data cables. Some do not, though, so I will need to buy
| some. This seems to be a nice website that you mentioned. Thanks a
| lot.

| stem, but it looks difficult as it is thin.

| This is obviously a picture of the one that is not broken.

| You might be able to disassemble another switch ofthe same switch mfgr..
| (not harris) and just replace the shaft without resoldering the wafers.
|
| YOu have to match the series of the switch design and get the proper
| number of swithc positions.
