WTB dimmer

Post by Model T Mark » Sun Dec 15, 2024 4:32 pm

I’m looking to buy two dimmers for either a 19-25 switch plate or wooden firewall mounted dimmers. They are the same just the leads are different lengths.
Contact me through this website.

I have one switch plate mount in very good shape other than some wire insulation missing in spots - might be NOS - drop me a note.

If I could get a good sample I could make these if there is enough demand to make a batch. Any interest?

I have some good ones & some for refurbish (wire leads) Your welcome to give onr a try. I had loaned a dimmer to a MTFCA membrane for testing (maybe you) but lost his name. Here is the info he provided

The Eyres are good folks, but like most of us, are probably very busy these days with "day jobs", etc.

Hey, I’m sorry I have spent the past two days dealing with some dental surgery. I’m interested and the pain meds have worn off this afternoon so I’m catching up on stuff. If you would email what you want for it I can try to make payment arrangements. meyre14t@yahoo.com In my opinion dental work is the worst. Take care Mark

Hello Frank,
No I’m not the guy you loaned it to, sorry. I was able to locate one in disrepair so I can disassemble it. I will need to make some drawings of the iron layers so I can get them laser cut. Do you think they painted this once assembled? It’s hard to tell they all have a hundred year layer of goop on them. If I make a few I would like to get them as close as possible.
