Thread: Abene VHF-3 control panel

I'm rebuilding the control panel. The red button is damaged beyond recognition. Can anyone please share a picture of that button? I will try to 3d-print a new cap.

Thanks!

On mine there is nothing but a round center section. It is plain with no writing or graphics.

I can take a picture if needed.

Your welcome. For some reason the picture loaded sideways.

Here is what I ended up with:



I'm very pleased with the result. It's printed out of translucent PETG. I may try to sand and polish the front face - will see.

That came out nice. If you decide to do yellow ones for the spindle rotation let me know. One of mine is roached.

After:


If anyone is wondering, the switches are still obtainable through ebay. They are called EAO (Olten) CH-4600. The contact groups can be easily moved between the switches, so you can buy any modification of it and then change the contacts.

Sure. I will get some yellow translucent PETG and will let you know if I get any success with it.

That would be awesome thanks.
