Default WTB Headlight up /down switch

After 50 years it quit.
Would like to buy a NOS or used original in good shape.

Phil, FWIW I also have 2 originals that are working poorly as well. The new repo's are JUNK !!

If you are handy, it is not hard at all to remove the back cover & Clean up the contacts inside & basically "tighten it up "

Try it if you care to.

Thanks Fred, I tried that route but the black plastic cube that the contacts reside on broke when prying it from the switch housing.
I went to LICS this week and looked at the repro. It looked lousy so I will wait for a good used or NOS switch. I see them on Ebay every so often.

Ouch Bummer Phil. I deal almost 100% with LIC & they're stuff is usually the best available. Keep hunting there's one out there.

I agree. No knock on LICS. They do have many quality parts. I live about 6 miles from them and knew the founder Richard Cohen. Before the internet they had a very busy telephone order business and parts counter. Nowadays I walk in & never wait.

Thanks for the responses. I bought one on ebay so unless it is a POS when I get it the search is over.
