<VV> 67-69 Boyne Directional Switch Repair

[LastHamlet]

Hello All, 
A few weeks back somebody had posted(I cannot remember
who at this moment), that they had replaced a part in
their Boyne directional switch Switch. It started
quite the curiosity, and I myself looked over several
switches I had. Deeming at the time, and I think most
agreed that these Boynes are not repairable. In
essence I felt I falsely made statements to the
validity of this repair, and for that I am so sorry.
Well, as it turns out, I am most likely WRONG... (I
know, what a shock.)
Yesterday I got my 2007 Supplement Catalog, from
Clark's, in the mail... (I read everything)
Nonetheless, near the back, on page 67, near the
bottom of the page... You got to see it for yourself.
Part number C4665, is supposed to be a repair kit for
the Boyne switch. I looked it up online and it is
$11.10, plus shipping. (Though no online photo yet,
the supplement I got yesterday, has a pic of it)
(Somebody tell Jeff at Corvair Ranch not to throw that
bucket of broken Boynes away, I am having problems
sending emails to him.) 
Now, I have not ordered one of these yet, but out of
curiosity I may just have to, to see how they suggest
you remove that piece from your old switch.
I wished the fellow who did this repair, and posted
about it in the beginning, would let us know how he
did it. I even remember him saying he did it without
removing the switch from the column, so I really am
curious to the technique.
I got to say, you learn something new, every day. I
would have been willing to swear that this repair was
impossible, and it goes to show, with egg on my face,
their is always something new to learn.

Danny Barber <<<--Feeling stupid, after just recently
putting in a new Repro Boyne. Also, feeling sorry he
falsely claimed that it could not be done.
