Re: 67 Signal Switch, It's all in the cam, part 2
Gary,
The new one I got from Shee-Mar seems to be working just fine. I recently had to change to this one, the day before I joined the road tour to the San Jose National. Worked just great for the trip.
Also have heard that the Lectric Limited one works fine.
One trick I learned, is to use a shorter lever mounting screw with a lockwasher (where the lever mounts to the switch cam). I used a #8-32 1/2" screw where the original is a 3/4". This seems to hold the cam to the switch a lot tighter for better contact. Found that with the original screw, the lever, and thus the cam on the switch, was somewhat loose fore and aft, giving you a poor contact between the tangs on the cam and contacts on the switch.
