[TenTec] More Omni D problems

[Mike Bryce]

tom,

I never could find a replacement. The factory doesn’t have it anymore either.

I took a SPDT reed switch, the glass switch, and extended its leads so I could make the necessary connections
Slip the reed into the coil and kinda positioned it so it was centered in the coil.

worked great!
