Hi all—

Does anybody have any of the old style panel light switches they'd be looking to part with?

The strobe light ON/OFF switch died in my 170B and is stuck in the always ON position.

I already replaced the landing light switch with a 3-position switch I found online, but the simple ON/OFF ones are difficult to find.

Thank you! Would this one work? It matches the head of my new landing light switch. It reads rating: 25A@6VDC, 15A@12VDC

I cannot guarantee it will fit because it’s not marketed as an aircraft switch...but it certainly looks like it would and the specs are good. The threaded shaft size was not described but it probably will. The good thing about Prime is it’s returnable.
Amazon also lists a number of alternatives on that page. Any of those which claim to be “marine” quality should be good for an airplane like ours.

Probably have one, but heading out of town for a week back Feb 23. Might try local marine shop or Lordco if needed asap

These are on eBay... any of them work?

OR- if your auto warranty is about to expire.

LOL... Also, I never realized how very many of us are so fortunate to know a Nigerian Prince!

George you are right, the guys looking for parts don't call but the other would. Thanks for the reminder
