Texas star modulator parts

Not really sure why Texas star stuff is getting like it is. Its not like some high quality gear we're dealing with but new 667's are $1000...
If i were you bevis id spend the $22 bucks for the ebay set and call it good.
Well, the switches are not sitting in their detent when pushed in other than the power button. They are working as momentary contact switches. Im no expert on these amps. Does the colored covers have something to do with them not sticking in their detent position when pushed in ?

Nope, the lenses don't have anything to do with the switch locking into position. Sounds like you're needing the whole switch bank and is a little bit more labor. You'll need to pull the pcb from the housing in order to get to the solder points underneath.

Barketts site is back up and might have what you're after.

Sadly Barketts is OOS on all switch banks / individual switches.....
I sent them an email to see if anything will be available in the future.
 
Here's Barketts response.. Major Bummer............

Hello
I had them on order for many months with no luck in getting them. They promise to complete my order but never get around to it. Not sure what is going on with TS. I sure could sell many TS parts if I could get them.

Thank you

It's been the same story for the last year or so, Galaxy is struggling to get everything like a lot of other manufacturers. It's not going to get better any time soon either.

A used parts amp is probably best to repair yours just like Tokin suggested.

I think somebody saw it coming and bought up all the Texas Star parts they could get their hands on and are sitting on them waiting for us to start crying.
