Does anyone know where to buy Curtis switches?
Posted by rinzana on Sunday, September 11, 2005 1:52 PM
Hello,
I am in the process of designing a basement layout. I would have preferred Ross switches, but they are running a little too pricey for me. I wanted to check out some prices for Curtis switches, but haven't found any on-line stores. Does anyone have a link that they can post?
Thanks,
RInzana

I haven't seen Curtis switches advertised in quite awhile. When I did my layout several years ago the comparison with Ross was extremely close. I went with Ross due to availability.

I'm not sure if you are going to like the Curtis switches any better than the Ross. They are priced about the same or a little higher. I own some Curtis switches from a number of years ago, and compared to the Ross switches I've seen in the store, the Curtis are a little nicer quality, but both should work just fine.

Ross has a much better website, which may or may not mean anything... I've used both kinds of switches and they are both excellent.
