Hello Phorum Members:  I am attepting to reassemble my 37-640 during restoration but have encountered a problem reinstalling the bandswitch.  I have inserted the shaft of the bandswitch with the flatside up so that it will be in the BC position but it seems to get stopped at about the last wafer position and will not go in all the way.  Can anyone offer any suggestions of what I might try ar what the problem is.  Thanks--John
