Light switch cover for Model T owners

Post by Dan_Jensen » Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:03 am

This showed up on my facebook. I think that Model T owners would want one. I do not know where the crazy Russian hacker found this.

Why does the big ring have teeth on the outside? :)

Henry would have never approved: too many parts; too expensive to make.

That would certainly take the guesswork out of turning the light on and off wouldn't it? ;)
When did I do that?

I found this old 3 way switch on eBay and wired it to my garage so if I want to look out at my Model T I twist a 100 year old switch. I still need to paint the wall, I added insulation and new drywall since this old house’s walls are 1x8’s and 105 siding, no studs.
