[Hammarlund] switches for SP-600

[James A. (Andy) Moorer]

Carling Tech does make a switch that works well and looks great. Here is a 
note I got recently from Bill Kirkland who was doing a search for the item:

=====================
Source is Wes-Garde Components.  I found them using the info below and ask 
for an RFQ
 for 10.
FQ INFORMATION
Manufacturer - CARLING
MFR Part#: 2GL51-52
Qty: 10
Target Price: $8.50 ea cdn Delivery 1 week

They have a Canadian outlet and I am just about to place an order.
 Use contact for quote was:

On their web, Carling Tech has a function to look up distributor stock. It's 
abit of a pain
 because you have to use a part number, and their switches have so many 
options.
 One hint though, when you look at their data sheets, the grey'd numbers are 
the
 standard configurations.
=====================
Good luck everyone! That $8.50 is a great price if you can get them. The 
last time I ordered them, it was more like $12.50. The only switch I have 
not been able to buy anywhere is the meter switch - DPDT that is momentary 
in one direction. Think hen's teeth.
