Hi Kit

Is your band switch lever partially missing, or is it all there and just broken? If broken you can fix it. The original was made of brittle pot metal; J-B Weld will not only fix it, but the color of cured J-B will blend in with the color of the pot metal part so if you are careful, the repair should be barely visible if it was a clean break.

If part of the lever is broken and missing, many 1937 and 1938 Philco models used the same lever so it should not be a problem to find another one.
