Good US based source for switches and knobs

[nobrot]

I am after special shaped toggles like the ones for the GUN/PAC, APU Gen and CMSP switches, and a landing light switch would be good, along with the various odd shaped rotary knobs, if anyone can recommend a US based vendor I would appreciate it, and even better if you happen to have part numbers!

[Deadman]

Part numbers for switches for the left and right counsels are all listed in my Build thread still

Hi Nobrot,

 

I am using the ones MTFDarkEagle suggets here:

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1485644&postcount=42

The top ones from Mouser.com. They work great for the ACHP but are ofcause only look-alikes.

 

With regard to the knobs, are you aware that Deadman can produce moulded replicas of all the knobs?

If he is getting enough demands he may be moulding new for sale :music_whistling:

 

Cheers

Just to chime in, the top one is also available in a three position variant. It's the S7AL IIRC.

Nobrot,

I have several 1TW1-3D (ON-ON), 1TL1-2F (OFF-ON). PM me if you need those.

Thanks for the feedback fellas, I will be spending this weekend getting my switch list and placing as many orders as I can...

 

Ski, PM sent,

DM.. great resource, thanks!!

 

EDIT:

I will be connecting the toggle switches using a GGG GPWiz40, so for switches like BATTERY PWR, AC GEN switches, is it best to use ON-OFF or ON-ON ?

And same question for switches like the INVERTER STBY, ON-OFF-ON?? and would these choises be effected if using Gadrocks Helios rather than simply mapping the GGG inside the control options?

 

Thanks guys..

This does not make any difference whatsoever. As long as it right amount of positions and is correct as far as momentary or held . Get what you can

[Deadman]

Iam on the cell now. Dropme a pm and I will see if I can find the thrad with pic when we stop for the night

Nobrot, DM was offering these knob replicas below some time ago. he is apparently considering another run, (yey!)

Right console: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=91929

Left one http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=91400

keep in mind these are not ready knobs but rather resin casts to be drilled ,tapped and painted

[Deadman]

Thanks for the help

[nobrot]

Anton, thanks for that, lets just say that if I was an IR missile, DM's knobs are a straight and level F16 in afterburner... I am locked on and ready to fire...

 

DM, if there is interest enough for you to run off another set, you get a +1 from me!
