Hello Pete

I was also going to look into a couple of junk part cardboard boxes with old radio and electronics parts in the shed, looking for something similar which could be used for the selector.

But from your info, now I realise that it is possible to make up one using a fuse and soldering iron. Great idea and advice. Thank you.
