[AMPS] thanks: band switch location

re: band switch location. 
-
Thanks for the information, I'll get on the phone in the 
morning and check stock.  One comment was made 
about a method to gang switches.
- 
There are a few Companies which retail in small 
amounts, hardware which would allow mechanical 
ganging of switches. 
- 
The first thing that comes to mind is a simple chain 
with sprockets. Similar to a bicycle style chain and 
there are other types made. 
- 
Some of the Henry Amplifiers I've seen through the 
years had some chain drive assemblies which 
did work pretty well.  I've not seen an Alpha with a 
drive assembly.  It would seem  a bit  hardware 
intensive to have large mechanical movements in 
common style Amateur Amplifiers. 
- 
Anyway... McMaster Carr and C&H Sales of Southern 
California sell chain drive hardware. MC is a new 
parts retailer, C&H is a surplus vendor. 
- 
Small Parts is another Company selling obviously, 
small parts.  I'm sure all three should have web 
sites.  
- 
One last comment... I've not had the problem come 
in, but I'm told by some that a broken or mis adjusted 
chain drive in some Henry Amplifiers is a rather 
large headache. 
- 
cheers and thanks again for the information.

I used to have some of the:
6-POSITION CERAMIC TAP SWITCH for 100 W 
BC-375 xmitter; 2.3x2.3x1.8, 1 lb. 
NEW #3Z9605 $3.95 ea 10 for $32.00
 from the link below that I removed from old BC-191 
/ BC-375 (tuning units, I think). Pretty nice switch, 
appears very rugged. I never could 
figure out a way to gang them, though.
