Hi Everyone,
I have a pair of 1122-027 Remote control switches that were part of a layout when my son (then about 7 years old) had a derailment and my ZW delivered infinite power (OK, maybe it was about 15A) to the short and fried the switches. I remember drilling out the rivets holding the switches together and everywhere there was a rivet connecting stamped bus bars to various parts of the switch were non-conductive (per my VOM).
Of course, none of the electrical joints can accept standard solder so these 1122 switches have been in storage for maybe 30 years.
Is there any way to repair these or should they just go in the trash?
Thanks,
Roger
P.S. I've since installed 7.5A circuit breakers on the throttle circuits for single-motored Lionel locomotives, and a 10A circuit breaker whenever I run a twin-motored diesel as a fast-acting breaker for shorts. I didn't know to do that 30 years ago.
