Dip Switch
« on: 02 February 2013, 07:41:17 pm »
The floor mounted dip switch has stopped working :2mo5pow:
I've seen a couple on ebay, both lucas. One has the part number spb605 and marked as a Lucas 502087.
The other one is marked RTC432.
They do look differant to each other.
WSL is 1961 S3.
Thanks

Richard WSL is a 1961 S2,  Bratty fingers!

I've got 2 different types on both of the S2,  one that sits on the footwell and one that goes through the footwell,  assuming you want the one that goes through the footwell as that is the one that is in Prescilla.

I've got a couple sat here, but to be sure it's not a leccy issue is it before you go swapping?

Oops spacky finger moment :rolleye0012:
Think it is the switch as when I go to change from dip to main, they sometimes do as they should but mostley go out completly :2mo5pow:
It then takes a lot of pressing/stamping to get the lights back on.

Had several do this to me, got fed up one day and opened one up, just drilled out the rivets.
Inside of mine was a square bar of plastic with brass contacts on it, all the contacts where dirty so I gave them a clean and riveted back together.
It works for me.
Does anyone read these? Does anyone know what half the crap down here means?

^^^^that looks like the one CBS sell.....

Slight side track here but I'll get back to the point:

I used to drive a self propelled crop sprayer which had a floor mounted switch for knocking off/on the main boom flow control. ( so you could knock off the boom sections on the joystick one by one  and so not get spazzy finger overload knock of the main switch by foot)

So, it gets used everytime you get to the headland turn and if you multiply the amount of times you turn by the amount of times you spray  4000acres  during a season muliplied by 3/4years  you get to a '**** of alot' and the switch never failed .

The sprayer was (then) a Gem of Lincoln, latterly CaseIH and I believe the switch was a Durite one.

May not be rivet counting  'genuine'  but if they can stick that and the mud n' water then maybe worth a look
Oh I've changed!
