Hey there Planigan.
Un-riveting is no problem at least for me I can use a thin bo;t/nut to reassemble.

I have taken apart the unit, and fitted the NOS AC switch. It works correctly.
Now, ad you can see the spring steel BB retainer is the problem.
I was hoping that the "stack" of items on the shaft would come apart. But they are pressed on the shaft.

I will see if Mark Oppat has at least the shaft with the spring on it, that wouldd save me some time.

But if not, I will indeed disassemble that shaft's elements then ( I have already marked them) install in their original position, and tap down the smashed part on the shaft, thus holding the elements back on the shaft.

I have got some spring steel shim material that I can make a retainer with.

Planigan, I am the kind that if I can see something can be saved, I'll try it. But I am hoping Mark will have a shaft from a broken switch.

PTOP has a NOS Centralab switch that has the AC option, so that would be a last resort.
Will let y'all know how it comes out.
Take care,
Gary.
