Chris I don't suppose you have a spare "Switchboard No1" under the stairs do you

Here's the repro I made (conducting a lengthy thread with the late Dave Pope)

A friend of mine was visiting a WW1 trench museum in Belgium when he saw this original on display outside. I contacted the owners, through an English speaking Belgium friend, who were two sisters who had taken over from their late father. We offered them some WW1 German artifacts and a cash settlement, but they were adamant that they would not part with any of Dad's exhibits. My Belgium friend says they even have Land Rover stuff on display....Seesh! Ron

Sadly, no. Even if I did it wouldn't stay there for very long, as I think there's a bloke by the name of Wharf (Or is it Pier?) who has serious need of one and would get first refusal on it.



Best regards,
Chris.
p.s. That repro is a wonderful bit of work.

Ha Ha You know my tongue was in my cheek Chris

I have branches all round the coast!

The repro switchbox and your HT battery boxes complete the cosmetic look

Cheers Ron

They do exist.....have not seen a single switch by itself.....probably not worth the effort to dismantle.....

Lots of switches on eBay. Do a search for “vintage range rotary switch”. They are close but not exactly the same.
