Hi

Does anyone know where I could find a couple of;

1 pole
2 position
rotary power switches
1/4" shaft
Rated around - 250v .5A

I've looked but can't find in my normal haunts.

:)

Try Farnell or RS Components online, They'll have them, but they may be expensive.

Thanks Alistair. I did check with Farnell, but not with RS. When I saw the price I thought I was looking at the wrong thing. Man their pricey!

I just can't justify spending $70-$130 on a 2 position rotary switch. Call me crazy. I'll keepa lookin. Cheers

Another thought, try a Marine electronics or Auto electric, They may have something that is 240V rated in Marine for big yachts/ Gin palaces

Thanks Harry!
I searched farnell high and low would you believe. I must start doing manual searches.
That's the one for me.
Thank you all for your eyes and ears. :)
