SimSynergy Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Hi all. First time posting on the forums here. I have been designing some sim products over recent years and have finally managed to get the first component off the CNC MillTurn. - TOGGLE SWITCHES! Please let me know what you think and let me know your interest so i can plan for the first few run offs. PM me if you would like to place an order or get more info. I have replicated the Honeywell TW Locking Toggle series first off. The switch is not Mil spec, but the cap is accurate in all dimensions. Many specifications of switch will be available as you can see below. I shall also produce the TL Series and The MS210 Series by Eaton. These three switches are used extensively in military cockpits including the A10, F15, F16 etc. More switches shall be produced in time. I shall soon have a SimSynergy website up and running for all the products available plus cool info and extras. TW Replica (The finished product will be silver anodised like the original) Price will be around £12 GBP. = $17 USD Original TW Locking Mechanisms available
hansangb Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Looks very nice! My only feedback would be, at $17 per switch, it could add up QUICK! But then again, I know folks looking for "the real thing" (or as close as possible) are willing to pay a premium. I wish you the best of luck. Anyone that supports sim'ing hardware gets my best wishes!

SimSynergy Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 Greets hsb, Thanks for the input mate. I know that price will always be the main topic of discussion and yes things can add up fast in this mad hobby! If I am able to do large batches then the price could come down a little. I have designed my components with my own use in mind, and can't make products with the quality I would want in my personal sim for any less. The balance between acceptable quality and cost is not easy to achieve, as you are all aware! The genuine TW Switch retails at around $90. Just add those up! haha : ) Thanks for your understanding and support hsb! Cheers Nils
