Folks,
Have three new Honeywell microswitches that I ended up not using in my electrical rebuild...
There's nothing wrong with them; but I ended up not liking how locking was set up on them (for example, I wanted Master to be locked in the ON as well as OFF position, but with the one I had I could only lock it in the OFF position).
Here are the switches:
2TL1-10F - progressive, locked out in "OFF" position, ideal for a "master" switch (center position turns on your battery, full "up" turns on your alternator). New price ~$65
2TL1-5F - DPDT with springloaded "top" position, locked out in the full off position. New price ~$35
2TL1-1L - DPDT, locked out of the top position ~$55
Now, the last two were destined to be 2 switches controlling both mags and start. Here's the diagram:
Switch down: mag is off
Switch in the middle position: mag is on (ungrounded)
Right mag switch goes up: right mag turns off, 1/2 of the starter circuit complete
Left mag switch goes up: left mag stays on, starter circuit complete 100%
(remember, starting setup is "left mag on only, starter contactor powered")
These switches are premium milspec switches and are much less crunchy than typical "commercial" switches. Back sides are #6 ring terminals.

Now, to the price
$75 for all three + shipping (Priority Mail - small box - whatever the going rate is today?)
