    I'm hoping someone on here may have some info............
    I bought this house that apperantly was build in 1959....go figure......anyhoo, it is a "low voltage" system, and it has the awsomly goofy toggle light switches in it. They are spring loaded. Apperantly they are 12 volt. Each light has a converter on it. Anyway, I need some switches and plates. I hoping someone on here may recognize the panels, or has run across them in their travels.
    I know this isn't car related, but thanks for looking anyway!

    I have never seen such switches.... BTW, the wagon lounge is for non wagon chat, so just about anything goes.

    ok you say low voltage as in what ?? do you have a say a 200 amp ac service to the house ???? and can you remove the converter and go 110 to a new style switch ??? or will i presume you have the cloth covered wiring in the house still,,,if the wiring is still safe and good just convert all the switches to new ones :idea:

    The wiring is all safe. There is no cloths covered stuff anywhere. The house is only 60amp and the switches have a converter to make em low voltage. They all work, and everything is hunky doorry, I just would like to replace a couple and get a couple of new plates. Rev, I'll take a couple on post em tomorrow.

    Thanks guys,
    -Stove
