This stop is needed because the SX-28 has two string-driven shadow band
indicators, behind the main tuning and bandspread dials, respectively. The
indicators run on little elevators that can go up in one direction, and down
in the other. When an elevator hits the top floor, there's only one
direction to go, and vice versa :-)


The Hammarlund SP-600 has an "elevator" pointer, but it seems to be cam-driven,
so it goes all the way up or donw in a hurry when you roll over the band
selector. Of course, it almost takes two hands to turn the mechanism :-)

BTW, I would want the limit stop detents place up front by the knob, not in the
rear of the bandswitch, so a real gorilla type wouldn't over-torque the switch
shaft.

Just my two cents -- Mike K.
