Anyone know where to buy mini slide switches with a ROUND slide in a SPDT or DPDT solder configuration?These will be used to throw the points on my manual turnouts as well as have a position stand mounted through the top of the handle. This is a copy of John Saxons` MMR stand. I have googled this and have come up with nothing.
Bob D As long as you surface as many times as you dive you`ll be alive to read these posts.
Do you want a switch with a round slider, or with a round handle?
If the latter, your file is your friend. Just grab one (preferably one long enough and with a handle so it can be controlled) and attack that square or rectangular slide switch handle with great gusto.
Since DPDT slide switches can be had four for a buck in quantity orders, messing up one or two will be no big thing.
