used to have a 580 Delta...es gud rig!!
the slop in the band switch is caused by the knob not up to snuff...remove
it with an allen wrench and you will see it is cracked where it attached to
the band switch.
simply wrap a small piece of steel wire around the outer part of the inner
part of the knob for reinforcement.
