[Amps] Radio Switch/Multi-Tech

[Paul Kraemer]

Add perseverance, patience, maybe a little heat from a large soldering gun, 
a drop of penetrating oil, plus a helping hand from xyl to support things 
while you concentrate on the punch.
I used a vice designed to support items on a drill press table as support. 
It opened to the required width to support the switch in the right places.
I found that a satisfactory punch can be found in the form of hardened nails 
used to install paneling. They are the required diameter and very hard. Hold 
them in place with pliers and tap with a small hammer.
