Eico HF 85 selector switch

[jaymanaa]

What would be a good, new, replacement selector for an HF 85? I think I'd like shorting between contacts,and shorting to ground of unselected inputs. The original is 4 positions; FM, AM, Phono, and Aux (it was a simpler time). I wouldn't be against a 5, or even 6 position, as there are "extra" RCAs on back for tape that I could use for more modern type sources. I think Curcio sells something for Dynacos that might work, has anyone used those? I'm envisioning something built with teflon and silver maybe. Thanks in advance, of course.

I once did it with a six-position stereo switch, I think from Radio Shack actually. I eliminated the tape circuitry and moved the RIAA components to the jacks. Not really endorsing the quality of that switch but the Sonic improvement of the whole process was significant.

;The ceramic ones that are used in Fisher units are much nicer than the EICO ones. I never liked those as they seem less sturdy. I have the plastic version of that but the brand escapes me. I think i got them off the bay so not a big help to you. I would have to check at the shop if you want to know.
