master switch for 48 ragwing

Post by russ murri »

After all the testing, thanks George, I need to order a master switch. My illustrated parts book does not list them , I have the green covered illustrated parts book for just ragwings . I could not find it in Spruce. Where do I get one? The switch I am reffering to is the one behind the piano switch. I have a ragwing 170. serial #18419. Russ

Look at Figure 32 Item 41 in the 1948 parts book, I believe that is your switch. P/N 8820K-5 Cutler Hammer.

One should be able to cross it to another Manufacture. Look thru the catalogs, AVIALL, Spruce...

George will probably know.
