So are the switches available and, if so, what is the part number. In the past I have purchased stuff from Full Compass and a relation of mine, who lives in the US, has received it and sent it on to me. I must say that the help I have got here in the UK has been of the ' just send it to us and we'll fix it' type. I appreciate that a Variax is a complex thing but I'm a trained computer engineer and I believe that I can change a simple switch without too many problems - if only I could find out what part I need to buy.
Thanks anyway for the info.
