Default calling Jim Shea!!!

I am in the middle of a 1977 column rebuild and cannot figure out the "key warning buzzer switch" and how and where exactly it goes.
Please help I have pics if I can email to you....
Thanks in advance
Robb

I'm not Jim Shea, but once you get the lock cylinder back into the column, there's a little rectangle hole toward the bottom (right) end of the lock cylinder. It'll have a small tab (green or white usually) hanging in it when the key is inserted. The long end of the buzzer switch goes into that hole. There is a "flag" on the switch that goes against the bowl to let you know it's seated.

This is a standard column showing the location of the key buzzer switch. The T&T column would be similar.


The lock cylinder has the tab that retains the switch in the column housing. On the bottom of the switch is the key buzzer tab. So if you can find the slot in the column housing that holds the lock cylinder in place, the square key buzzer switch hole is just below and to the right.
