I'm looking into replacing some, well probably all, of my old beat up switch caps as a part of the general clean-up process with my rig. I'm sure most of you are familiar with them, some have no light, some have just the one and a few have 2 lights. They are Carling Contura II caps or "actuators" and they come in a soft or hard plastic feel/texture. Mine are old and dry enough that I can't tell for sure if they are the soft touch or hard plastic type - any ideas what they would have been new? I guess it probably doesn't matter much if I'm going to switch them all out, can just do one or the other.
FYI, if anyone is interested in the same thing, here a link to a site that has them and they are real cheap:
Actuator: 36: Carling Switches | Rocker Switches | Carling Contura | Waytek, Inc. - Page 1 of 2
Another FYI, been talking to Carol at C&O (first time working with her and her reputation definitely precedes her) and I'll be sending them my switch panel for them to template out. She'd really like to get some replacements made since they are no longer available, so if anyone is looking for a similar switch panel, there might be one in the works. Hopefully I didn't spill the beans or jump the gun by mentioning it here...
