Not really building anymore, and the years of building seemed to create a Tetris-like cache of stuff that I keep stumbling upon. Years of visiting surplus stores WHEN there were surplus stores.
I found a pile of rotary switches. All are US Made and all but 2 are ceramic deck. Some say OAK and some do not have a brand.
I took a bunch of pics. Not sure if anyone is interested in some or all. Please let me know either PM or my handle here 'mpxxxxxx@gmail.com' .
Not looking to get rich here 🙂

Those are good switches, with silver contacts, which can tarnish but will clean up ok.
Watch out for cracked ceramic wafers. Buy extras for replacement wafers, they're easy to replace.
You can reconfigure them to have fewer decks by cutting the threaded rods and center rod down to size.
Or change the deck spacing by using different spacers. Action is somewhat stiff.
