327 LAMP-EXTRACTOR TOOL ANYONE??
Years ago, Microswitch Corp. manufactured a series of panel switch/indicator assemblies. From the front they appeared rectangular, had provisions for inserting legends, and contained 28V type 327 midget flanged lamps. Versions were available as simple indicators, mechanical latching switches, solenoid-held latching switches, etc. You've seen them in footage of NASA installations where panels are loaded with the flashing rectangular thingies. I have a project in which I need to replace some of the 327 lamps, and the only sane way to do it is to use an extraction tool. I had one here, but when I went to use it one of the legs broke (corrosion, old age, I guess). Does anyone know where I could obtain one of these extraction tools? Google has come up blank for me. The tool looks like tweezers. The "business end" is slid down over the lamp until slots in each leg grab the flange at the bottom of the lamp. The legs are then squeezed and pulled up and out. TIA--Cheers Terry--WB4FXD Edenton, NC |
