Philco Predicta Tandem--correct way to repair on switch?
#2

Yes, I have three Tandems, a Holiday, a Siesta and a Princess that I'm restoring!

So far only the Holiday is fully restored electrically, and it also had a dead power switch. If you still have yours, it's fairly easy to pry open and you might be able to fix it.

I was extremely luck to find someone selling a NOS replacement. It cost around $25 + shipping, which should give you some idea how scare they are.

His email is dpatterson002@comcast.net I think he's out, but you can ask.

Here's the new power switch attached to the old control.
