parapanteraIf you can't fix it with a hammer.....you have an electrical problem.

I have a switch I took apart long ago enough I forgot what piece goes where. After looking at Ralph Granchelli's work at the Pantera Place website I figure I am missing the ball bearing and I figured out the block, what about the rest? What would be the correct number sequence for the parts numbered 1 through 7 below?

I read that, but pieces 1 and six have me stumped......I'm not even sure #1 is part of the switch!

I had an old switch that I dissected for the cause. Note that the following photos are sequential, and all parts are oriented as they came out of the switch body. I did not flip anything.

2. I 'm guessing that the ball bearing fell out of the spring bore and it is sitting in the cavity.
