65-66 power antenna switch question

[Larry Rosamond]

I've noticed a few new repop switches showing up on ebay lately. Didn't I read that these switches were made for a while but not presently produced? Are they being made again and who is selling them? Any opinions on quality appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Regards, Larry

Paragon shows them in their catalog and web site. I believe several others do also.

Re: 65-66 power antenna switch question

About 18 months ago I went through this search. At that time, although they were listed in catalogs, they were not in stock. I did manage to find one repro somewhere in NH. It was the last one he had. At the time many people on this board were not happy with the quality of the repro. Mine is just filling a hole right now, since I don't have the antenna installed yet so I can't comment on functionality. Some guys on the board suggested putting a new switch from a marine store in the old case. This stuff is in the archives someplace.

I think Corvette Specialties of MD was the manufacturer. I'd start with them.

Long Island Corvette has these now for under 100.00. They appear to be well made but the "business" portion of the switch which protrudes through the housing is not an exact replica of the original. I therefore left my small
marine momemtary switch in place as it works well and neither of the switches
are technically "correct" for judging purposes.
