NEW Old Stock
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

This is a 'nice' switch, a bit different to your run-o-the-mill toggles .... long paddle and there are small square holes in each side. Why is this good? If ever the contacts needed cleaning, at least you have access inside to give the contact points "a squirt", so often switches are completely sealed.

NEW Tested
Tested? This is old stock and the contacts are lightly oxidised so I wanted to check the switch ON resistance in all directions - all is fine, sub-1 Ohm (my current test equipment cannot reliably measurement below 1 Ohm with any accuracy)
Clean
Physical toggle action is positive and secure in both directions.
Solder terminations are clean with just a light "greyness" from oxidisation over the years
I have now placed this switch into a sealed clear plastic packet, waiting to be "reborn" into another piece of equipment!
