Dang, I broke an unreplaceable part. I hate when that happens. I have a 5-096 DayFan chassis in a Peck & Hills Furniture cabinet, circa 1929. The Local/Distant switch wasn't working, it was distant only, open position which really cut the power. I took the switch apart and proceeded to break it. In the meantime I shorted it out so I have local all the time, incredible power, not a bad option. Just maybe one of you could direct me to something to replace the switch. It is simply an on/off rotary switch with a 1/4" shaft, 1 1/4" long and has 175 volts going through it. Don't want a potentiometer, just a switch. Any idea where I could find something?

Thanks,
Alan
