Hello all.....
After problems with jamming indicator stalk during the back end of the summer, I've stripped it down to see if there's any obvious issues.

Naturally, the springs inside the switch functioned perfectly on cue and jettisoned the innards as I removed the cover!

Anyone got pictures of how the twin nylon pawls fit, and where the cylindrical copper slug go???

Loxy had a picture of a switch partially stripped on a thread, but I can't seem to find anything else here....

Edit: So, added pictures: I now think the copper stumpy cylinder acts as a spring loaded roller, this was out of position when I took the switch apart, and may be the cause of the intermittent jamming....

Where I'm stuck now is the orientation of the spring loop and the two white nylon 'flippers'...I presume the legs of the spring loop are pivots for the flippers.

Even with the correct configuration, I think it'll be a challenge to reassemble without thirty-seven fingers....how did the SWF factory build this!!!???
 
Hmmm! Nearly 60 views, and no-one has done this?

So far, for the record, I've got it all back together (which is difficult with all the springs etc) but I don't get how the flippers go, or how they achieve the self cancel function - there seems no logical position/orientation. I've seen a couple of pics on Vzi, but I think they are wrong due to various reasons.

Someone must have done this, somewhere - but I just can't find a lead! :roll:
