VERY DIFFICULT TO FINDCOLLINS KWM2/A SWITCHVIEW DETAILS BELOWIF YOU HAVE A KWM2/A YOU KNOW THAT THE OAK ON/OFF SWITCH IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO FAILURE -- AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE ARE NO REAL SUBSTITUTES TO PURCHASE. THERE ARE A FEW WORK AROUNDS, BUT IT REALLY DOES NOT REPLACE THE SWITCH.
THIS IS A USED OAK SWITCH --- AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT AND SHOWS CONTINUITY AS IT SHOULD -- FOR THE 110 AND FOR EACH OF THE FOUR POSITIONS ON THE WAFER SWITCH. IT CLICKS INTO PLACE NICELY FOR ALL THE \"STOPS\".
IT DOES HAVE A SMALL (I THINK) ISSUE. THE DEDENT OR \"STOP\" TAB IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AS A RESULT WHEN YOU TURN IT TO THE OFF POSITION, IT WORKS FINE. BUT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO TURN IT COUNTER CLOCK WISE WITH DEDENTS CLICKING IN PLACE. IN OTHER WORKS WHILE IT\'S ABSOLUTELY FUNCTIONAL AND WILL TURN OFF, YOU CAN STILL ADVANCE IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE. DOESN\'T HURT ANYTHING ELECTRICALLY, BUT IT SHOULD NOT DO THIS. I DO NOT THINK THE ACTUAL KWM2 CHASSIS HAS A \"STOP\" ON IT, BUT I NEVER CHECKED. AT THIS POINT, CONSIDER THE SWITCH AS NOT LOCKING UP AT THE \"OFF\" POSITION.
SOME OF YOU TECHIES CAN PROBABLY FIX IT, BUT MY QUICK LOOK-SEE DID NOT YIELD ANY RESULTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE WAFER ASSEMBLY AND THE 110 VOLT ASSEMBLY CAN BE SEPARATED BY LOOSENING A COUPLE SCREWS -- I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DO SO.
ALL THE ABOVE SAID, IT WILL WORK FOR YOU WITH THE PROVISIONS MENTIONED.
NO MORE OF THESE ARE MADE AND THE USED MARKET IS SCARCE. BUY IT AS A SPARE IF NEED BE.
DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL WILL USE USPS. DOMESTIC A FLAT $10. INTERNATIONAL THE ACTUAL COST.
SORRY NO RETURNS, BUT YOU HAVE MY 100% RATING THAT SAYS I LIST ITEMS ACCURATELY.
QUESTIONS? JUST ASK.

HAD A QUESTION ASKED ABOUT THE OAK SWITCH ASSEMBLY.
PERSON WANTED TO KNOW IF THE WAFER SECTION OF THE SWITCH COULD BE SEPARATED FROM THE OAK SWITCH ON/OFF ASSEMBLY. YES!
THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE ASSEMBLIES. IF A PERSON WANTED TO ONLY USE THE OAK ON/OFF ASSEMBLY MOUNTED ON ANOTHER WAFER SWITCH IT CAN BE DONE. AS MENTIONED ABOVE BOTH PARTS (ON/OFF OAK SWITCH SECTION AND THE WAFER SECTION) ARE FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE WAFER ASSEMBLY DOES NOT WANT TO STOP AT THE FINAL POSITION. CONFUSED? YEAH, ME TOO. POINT IS THAT IF YOU JUST WANT TO USE THE OAK SECTION YOU CAN REMOVE IT.
