Hydraulic Auger Mount

Over the years, the Radio Shack switches in the joystick just didn't hold up to joystick abuse. Years ago, Southwest Airlines upgraded they cockpit yoke radio switches. I told the guy doing the replacements I wanted all the old switches and hardware. This how many I have.

The joystick knob is big enough to house them, as it is a large switch.

The wires are crimped with soldered terminals, then screwed to the switch with these screws.

I use these 2.5 magnification glasses while crimping and soldering and installing the screws.

Makes the job a whole lot easier with the cheaters. If anyone wants a couple of the switches, let me know. I've got way more than I will ever need.

Thanks guys. Guess it was just another perk of working for an airline. I did go through 4 or 5 Radio Shack switches before these switches became available. I do miss Radio Shack. Now Frye's Electronics has closed it's doors too. Gotta go way into Htown now to browse electronic aisles now.
Is Heathkit still around?

Thanks Brandi,
I check in everyday, just don't post as much as I used to with the limited time I have now, the business is rockin' luckily, and we have lots of irons in the fire with some new projects.
