Centralab "switch cap" removal.

[zeno]

Sounds like the set is before my time ( 1960 + ) but
if its push-pull Mallory used to make replacements KR8M & KR9M
that we used a lot of. There were 3 bend tabs holding the switch section on
& easy to change. "turn" types could be repaired too but we never did.
Too busy to mess with them, just bought new controls. If it looks
like too much just jump out the SW & put a switched AC cord on it.

Thanks! It's a turn switch. I've got it jumpered and I'm using a switched power strip at the moment (see photo in previous post)..but I want to get this set "right" eventually.

I'd buy a new control, but my local DuMont Television dealer is currently out of stock and doesn't know when they're getting more!
