Fluorescent Light switch - fixed
I ended up fixing my switch. A tiny plastic tab broke off so I got a
tiny nail and got it red hot with a torch then stuck it into the plastic. Then to make the tab I molded epoxy around the nail head and then filed it to shape after it had gotten hard. Works great. |

It happens to be a good one with good switches, but even the "cheap" ones are not cheap to replace. You found a good resourceful answer. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
