The Fisher 400 Receiver
#6

Yes, I suppose I could have done that...but I see nothing wrong with my solution. From the outside, it looks like it has all four of its original switches.

In the past few weeks, I've been distracted from the 400 by restoring my Fisher 202-R AM/FM tuner, circa 1960-61. It had two slide switches in the back, both of which were broken. I did try to rebuild them using new switches (which have black sliders), but the old sliders were not compatible with the new switches and actuators...so I had to totally replace them. And they were riveted in, not screwed in as are the 400 and 175-T switches. That made the job just so much more fun. NOT. I slightly damaged my FM antenna terminal board trying to remove those rivets; I finally succeeded in drilling them out. At least I did not damage any of the silkscreen print next to the switches in back.
