Precise 111m tube tester restoration
#3

Yea, looks like spaghetti in there. This one is worse than the 111, since it has the transistor checker in it also. I may have figured out why it wasn't used any or very little:
   
 This 2nd pic is a switch from a 111 without the transistor tester function. This is S2, the "test" switch. I may be saved since what I think is the "tube" part of the switch nearest the chassis looks ok. I may be able to use it with the broken switch. But, if not, any ideas on how to repair? It only has contacts on the top side. I have an idea, but before I attempt, has anyone dealt with something like this before? Or does anyone have a 'parts' unit that I could obtain the switch from?
   

The 3rd pic I found interesting for obvious reasons.
   
So far, I have found a broken NE51 shorts bulb, a cracked meter,  (very small), and I don't think it will affect anything. I am getting ready to start the recap and try to locate a bulb. I don't have any schematic or assembly instructions. If anyone here has this and is willing to help, could you PM me please.
