You can go to eBay and search for the general term "foot switch" but I think most of you would be happier with what comes when you ask for "safety foot switch." If you have a "kinky" bent you can even go to the tatoo sources. They use foot switches too! I got mine as a gift that once belonge

Looks identical to the Linemaster "Hercules" one I have. I think you could drive an Abrams tank over it, and *maybe* chip the paint. 73, Jim KQ6EA On 10/20/2013 02:56 AM, Drax Felton wrote: These ones are good http://www.ssccontrols.com/homepage-heavyduty.htm -Original Message-

Yes, get a "Linemaster" commercial-grade switch. These things are absolutely bullet-proof, and cost LESS than some of the "name brand" JUNK! 73, Jim KQ6EA On 10/19/2013 05:49 PM, Mark Lunday wrote: I have the Heil hand switch and it fell apart already, but I glued it back together and it's

The Motorola switches I've seen all seem to be OEM branded Linemaster Clipper series switches, look to be either dual 632-S (SPDT), or 635-S (DPDT) models. So no need to look for anything Motorola specific to get that level of ruggedness. And they are rugged, I think you could even drive your c

Mark, I have an MFJ foot switch, currently MFJ-1709, which I have been using light-medium duty for nearly five years with no problems. If you wear combat boots, and stomp on it rather than pushing on it gently, you mileage will probably be different. 73s, Alan WA4SCA <-Original Message-
