If so, is the switch physically damaged or just not making electrical contact inside? If it's the latter, sometimes a shot of contact cleaner down inside the mechanism can do wonders! I was able to find these alternative part numbers for that switch: Mason 305-4313 King 005-0267-0012 Esterline is a distributor for Mason Switches, and they have a sales desk that can probably help you find what you need. *Sometimes* if the salesman is in a good mood, and they have the switch in stock, you can have them send you a "sample" for no charge. Here's what I found on a page on their web site: MASONR Slide Switches For more information or sales assistance, call us at 818-361-3366 or email mason.sales@esterline.com. Here's the actual page with drawings of the 305 series of switches: http://www.esterline.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=AbDCHJFMPf4%3d&tabid=2156 I also found a Mason 305-4313 that sold on eBay in December for $52.00, but there are no other switches currently listed. Hope this helps, Stan From: owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of TOMMY MATHIEU Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 12:06 PM Subject: Commander-List: Dear Sir; I have broken a trim switch on the yoke of my 500S.
