need info about this switch

[wayne]

post a few more pics maybe the old folk might recognize it

 

[wattsup]

Well it seems strange, it would help knowing what the actual switch controls..then we may be able to help. I can't understand why the question has not been asked? is it another wind up?

 

[LukeScotty]

not looking good is it volkerc, maybe a few more pics

 

[volkerc]

i heard this could have eventually been used on a myford machine...?

 

[montybaber]

try Santon switchgear, welsh company I think

 

[volkerc]

i checked santon, doesn't look like they got the one.

Sorry to say it, but it looks like you're down to just one option to find this switch. Lacking more pictures, here's my suggestion:

 

[montybaber]

i checked santon, doesn't look like they got the one.

unlikely they still would though to be honest, even if they did make it

Was it fitted to a lathe?

 

[volkerc]

that's what the "maker" of the resin copy thinks it was.

 

[montybaber]

What a lathe switch or a santon?

santon made switchgear for myford machinery

 

[volkerc]

hmmm, i tried emailing myford, but this sales@myford.com does not work. always comes back as undeliverable mail....

 

[montybaber]

some of myfords models used dewhurst and partner switches but yours looks like santon

 

[volkerc]

gonna be checking a lot tomorrow, thanks so far.

 

[montybaber]

thats alright...not much help but hey were trying (very trying lol)

hope we get a cut

 

[LukeScotty]

cheers montybaber for being so helpful
