[Hammarlund] switches for SP-600

[Russ WQ3X]

Hmmm-- 

I think the Carling p/n given is a .250" blade or tab terminal type. 
Wondering if this will fit behind the panel. As Al says, it is tight in some 
spots. I suppose they could be cut down if there is a problem with depth. 
Using my magic decoder ring, it looks like to get the solder lug version (in 
DPDT) it is a 2GL50-52. This shows no stock. I think this is as far as I got 
before and I was afraid to ask what the minimum quantity would be to get 
them to do a run.

I will investigate this further on Tuesday to see what the minimum would be 
and get pricing. I could use 10 pcs. to fix up the 4 SP-600s I have and have 
some spares for the future. They are nice for other projects too. All my 
SP-600s are short bat type not ball end.

Further input?
