Trailboss Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Panel upgrade replaced all switches. I have a set of the ETA Rocker Switches for sale. Out of an '88 J, show typical wear but all covers are intact. All working when removed. $150 each. I also have some replacement blank, 3D printed covers that I'll throw in.
Oldguy Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 What did you replace them with, if I may ask?
Trailboss Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Posted June 20, 2019 Replaced with some Honeywell LED Backlit switches with separate circuit breakers in stead of the switch/breaker combination. 2

Trailboss Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Posted June 20, 2019 The avionics shop signed-off with a "these switches are standard hardware equipment..." blurb. The did a load test on the installation and determined no functional difference between the original installation. 7
ArtVandelay Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Replaced with some Honeywell LED Backlit switches with separate circuit breakers in stead of the switch/breaker combination. I want do this as well, did you use AML or MML switches?Tom
Trailboss Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Posted June 20, 2019 AML. AML24FBA2AA02 is the Honeywell part number.

Trailboss, Can you share a picture of your panel at night with the led backlights on? I would love to see that to see if I need to add these switches to my next wanted list!

I keep forgetting to snap a picture since it's been long days with light. Next time I'm up in the hanger, I'll get one and post it. 2
Seattlekiddoc Posted August 26, 2019 Report Posted August 26, 2019 If you still have the Landing Light switch available I'm interested. Mine is very loose on my '82 M20K, working but the switch falls off if not careful.

Trailboss Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Posted December 2, 2019 Only remaining switches are the Landing Light (25Amp) and the Master Switch. Thanks all!
Jer Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Do you have the Fuel Boost Pump rocker switch? I didn't see it in the photo. I am actively seeking one or just the undamaged cover.
carusoam Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Welcome aboard Jer. I’ll send a message to @Trailboss and let him know you were asking... Best regards, -a-

201Mooniac Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 No boost pump but if it helps anyone I have a master, a radio master, and a trim switch sitting around.
Jer Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks guys. I think I will just ask my avionics shop to replace it with something new, since I can't find the right cover.
