My dad has an old Sherwood stereo receiver. The power switch quit working a few years back. Replacement parts are impossible to find, so I opened up the switch to see what was inside. Turns out theres a small plastic part, and it fractured. So, I made a replacement. Brass, because that's what I had on hand.
Pic shows new part and original. If you look closely, you can see where I glued it. Tried glue before, but it wouldn't hold.
Yes, it's ugly. It's uneven, and the slot still needs filed to fit. But it fixes a perfectly good stereo for my dad, and he is pleased.

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
