On / Off / Volume Knob

[Mark Davis]

Ok on my on the new estate sale Fisher 400 Serial # 34129S.

I have noticed the volume knob is different from my 1st Early 400 Serial # 15350E.

I thought it might have been replaced as the little notch/tab on the on off knob lined up at 1:00 in the off position instead of 7:00.

I would like the notch/tab to be at 7:00 like it is supposed to be

The knob can only go one way unless I am a idiot.

I have not tried rotating the whole knob. I am wondering if the wires will reach or if rotated the tabs will short to the chassis.

Has anyone seen this type of switch with the long wire connections? I assume it is a replacement, I don't know if it works as I am waiting on new can caps from Hayseed.

I know that the on off switch is notorious for failure. Has anyone found a solution for a replacement?



Thanks in Advance

I'm assuming the knob doesn't have the brass colored cap which could be pried off and re-glued in the 7:00 position?

The brown base of the knob is where the tab is and the brass cap with the mark lines up with that. So the tab on the base was at 1:00. And the line on the brass cap was at 4:00. They couldn't even get the brass cap glued on right. I have removed it and glued it on correctly.

Hello

Check this thread to have a trouble free switch in your amp. I did it in mine more that 10 years ago.

Hope this helps.
