Captain Ralph,

Been following this exchange....

I am after 1 black knob if you should have one lying around.

Cheers,

Scott.

I remember using thickened epoxy and gluing a knob back on. Used painters tape to keep the glue from the face, seeping in on the shaft and holding the knob in position.
That was years ago and the knob, not perfectly plumb, is still working.

Maybe get with Werner and get his old knob if yours is out of sight.
It's heck to spend these bux just for a bad knob.

I wonder if Granger would have a knob of some kind that would match that shaft.

Captain Ralph, is there any chance you would be interested
to selling me one and are they in decent condition?
Thanks Werner Schoenknecht

Usually the face blows out of these switches when smashed.
the case and back plate is the same for both switches.

I wonder if I could repair yours with another used or bad switch?

Sadly, I can not find my other battery switches. I assume they went to the wrong way on our shops closing move 2 years ago.

So. I have just an original grey 4-way switch to offer.

That was exactly what happened to all my old ones. It seemed as if the front face melted off. The ones for engines and house still worked, the one for the generator actually fell apart so I replaced all of them. Quite the uncomfortable project.

Did you save any of the parts or knobs?
