I got a 238 in an estate buy and it had been hot switched and need a new 
wafer switch
I got a replacement from ten tec but it was not cheap and I wonder if 
they still have them
Replacing the burnt out disc caps was a lot cheaper than the wafer..
I guess the wafer switch used  is ok but I am not sure it will take the 
power that some think it will.
I have several of the original large Radio Switch rotary switches and I 
would change the original for one of those
prior to or at least at the same time as the cap replacement with 
doorknob caps.
JMHO
Thanks, George Griesbach, W5GRG, AFA6GG
