BUGEYE PANEL LIGHT SWITCH

[paulsherman]

Can anyone give me the part number of the Radio Shack switch that is an excellent replacement for the original. I seem to remember that it is about $5. Much better than the $50 price @Moss.


Thank you

Is that the slide switch on the bottom edge of the dash?

YES

As I remember, it's an ordinary slide switch, which is a standard size. I think you can just take it to the store and pick out something virtually identical. If Radio Schlock doesn't have something acceptable, check out Digikey or Mouser (google 'em!)

I reccomend DigiKey for anything electrical...it is the only place I shop!

Just to let you know, I looked for a new switch that would fit, couldn't find one, including radio shack, and bought a new reproduction. It fell apart before I even had a chance to run power to it. I ended up with a slide switch, but had to make minor changes to the holes.

Hehe, minor changes are acceptable.

I believe that I have a spare original.

Ray, if you find it, I will take it.
How much?
