I need to replace the MODE switch on my TS520.
It is a rotary wafer switch.
Can anyone help?

=============================
Perhaps you can specify the switch :
1)number of switch positions and the total angle the switch shaft makes.
2)number of switch functions ,identifying the number of separate switches
inside the wafer or wafers.
3)outer diameter
4)depth dimension of the wafer (pack)
5)shaft diameter and the diameter of the screwed thread fixing the switch to
a panel.

The TS-520 is not a recent transceiver ,hence the switch might not be all
that exotic.

If I have a suitable switch in my junk box ,I'll be happy to send it to you
foc.
I understand you are in the UK.

Theo -

OK. you have a Kenwood TS-520.

Do you have the TS-520 Service manual - that identifies all Kenwood parts by
their original part numbers?

The TS-520 Service Manual (ZIP file of Adobe Acrobat) is a LARGE file
available (download) from MODS DK
http://www.mods.dk/view.php?ListManuals=kenwood

Are you aware that about 86 parts for the TS-520 model are still available
from Kenwood Parts? Many are switches - BUT you need to Kenwood part number
for the specific bad Mode Switch wafer.
