Sorry to say it, but it looks like you're down to just one option to find this switch. Lacking more pictures, here's my suggestion:

i checked santon, doesn't look like they got the one.

unlikely they still would though to be honest, even if they did make it

Was it fitted to a lathe?

 

[volkerc]

that's what the "maker" of the resin copy thinks it was.

 

[montybaber]

What a lathe switch or a santon?

santon made switchgear for myford machinery

 

[volkerc]

hmmm, i tried emailing myford, but this [email protected] does not work. always comes back as undeliverable mail....

 

[montybaber]

some of myfords models used dewhurst and partner switches but yours looks like santon

 

[volkerc]

gonna be checking a lot tomorrow, thanks so far.

 

[montybaber]

thats alright...not much help but hey were trying (very trying lol)

hope we get a cut

 

[LukeScotty]

cheers montybaber for being so helpful

got a mail from santon saying it's not there product, they suggested a company in spain called "gave", but i wonder if that would make sense, cause it says made in england in the box. regardless i can't seem to locate this spanish company on the net, and dewhurst and partners doesn't come up on my searches either.

...and yes, thanks to everybody for being so helpful!!!

 

[montybaber]

ill keep trying

 

[volkerc]

hmm, just saw some cam switches on ebay.uk from santon. i wonder if this is only the part that gets mounted on the panel, in the pic it has a black surrounding, maybe there are ones in red aluminum. the size seems right..

 

[volkerc]

harder than i thought. still searching.

Unfortunately for you that style and colour has now become the industry "norm". It may be that the switch you are looking to replace was a "special" run done for the lathe manufacturers. Try Europa they might be able to help or point you in the right direction.

 

[ian.settle1]

cause i want/need the original, regardless how old it is.

It could be obsolete so you will have to fit a new type.

post a few more pics maybe the old folk might recognize it

Cheeky B******
