Ok, I couldn't kill those switches I posted in this thread earlier. I tortured them with salt water, hot water, heat and cycled them in and out of crap for weeks. Includes operating it under water a couple hundred times. For cheap made in Taiwan switches, they are awesome. Just over $1 each...

Wouldn't miss it. Already got Friday off.

WTF? What about us knuckle heads from Northern VA?

Those switches came in today. Damn that was fast. They all checked out electrically but one had bad threads. At least I know which one to torture now. Makes me worry a little about how much you can torque them down. Was able to tighten the others pretty well. Maybe just use some lock-tite...

Wow you wrote my story!!! We used to like all of the same things...or so I thought. Turns out after being together for 21 years (married for 16 of them) she tells me she never liked any of the things I liked. WTF? What is the point then? She liked riding the couch the first few times and...

Two things the way I see it. 1. It is a toy. You have to remember that. If you can't or don't want to work on it yourself, you need to be able to pay for someone else to do it. 2. The farther you get away from stock, the more #1 above applies in most cases But damn it is fun!
