Meter switches are available in limited quantity.  In many cases, the repar is
not a quick one.  Aside from the switch going on from the inside, the metal
bushing it sits in must be changed to match the length of the brass post.
Metal switches were never made for the 1, they were made for the 2 & 2N.
