    not aware of repos(demand wouldn't yield profits to a repo company). i've disassembled non-operative switches and got them working. suspect you'll have to find an original. good luck, mike

          I feel that they will. They look and operate the same. They do not weight the same due to the casing on the switch being plastic rather than bake-lite. I haven't had one judged NCRS but I have at Bloomington and did not recieve a deduction for 1953 #130 last June. It got Gold.

          It is judged in the operations section. The new switch is probably safer than an old switch with a brittle ceramic coating over the coil.

          Does anyone know where an original switch can be rebuilt? I have several that I would like to rebuild, if possible.

          Maybe an NCRS judge can tell us their experiences with this switch??
