Flaps no workie workie/ to flaps workie workie

[xcrmckenna]

My flaps quit working a few weeks ago. Luckily they were in the up position.

 

Tracked it down to the micro switches “I hope”. It turned into them not working at all to intermittent when we would tap on the up micro switch.

 

Got a good price on them so we decided to change out both. Glad I did because when I took the down micro switch out it fell apart.

 

Everything seems to be working consistently now.

Where did you source your little clicky items?

Tracked down on eBay. Paid $35 for three. Should have bought all 9 they had.

I bought 2 from the guy. They don’t come up very often.

It thought we found them on digi key or mouser once.

Yeah I got lucky mine quite at the time he was selling some. Much better price than everywhere else at $100 a piece.

There are a couple other similar ones for less, but, well, that would require significant testing I expect.

I own '67 F (Hydraulic flaps) so i never looked at those live but this switch looks remarkably like TEAC (and other Japanese brand) Reel to reel machines.

I suspect screw spacing is standard and should be available new and used. Good job sourcing them.

Yeah luckily the ones I found are the exact same brand and part number they are just old new stock. Wish I had bought more than just one extra.

It is much cheaper to get the V3-1 switch along with the JV-5 roller actuator. This is listed as an alternate in the IPC to the V3L-3 switch.

I have three old new stock V3L-3 micro switches available. $45 each $5 shipping if anyone is needs some.
