Philips GA-312/212 switch question

[steelglam]

Hello all,

I have a Philips GA-312 that's in good condition with the exception of a bum switch that moves the arm up and down. Basically, it will not stay depressed in the "down" position.

I recently came upon a really beat-up GA-212 in a thrift for $8, but the switch works OK, so I picked it up hoping that I could perhaps harvest the switch from the 212 and put it in the 312.

My question is: Is this something that would be possible? If so, is it a complicated or easy fix?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks, I'll see if I can figure it out from that. I guess I will have to look at the service manual for both the 312 and the 212 and see if they actually share the same switch (i.e., the same part number)?
