"The Kid" just talked me into another project... Install VFDs on his
mill and lathe. he's going to make and mount two control boxes -
operator panel. The VFD and brake resitor will go inside with a cut
out to see the VFD panel. I'll wire and install.

He needs heavy duty industrial on/off/on switches and 2K ohm pots.
These can get a bit spendy - new. Anybody got some used ones or good
suggestion on where to buy?

Plentiful on ebay.

I normally just save them for myself, not for sale, too much work for
too little money. But I do sell A-B 800T buttons.

The AB buttons would be perfect if you have a couple on/off/on

The Automation Direct 22mm metal switches are good quality for the
money. They're similar to the old style Telemecanique 22mm switches,
if you're familiar with them.

I second Neds's suggestion. I have these switches in a control on a
CNC machine. When I did the retrofit I bought them new and over ten
years later they still work like new.

Thanks for the suggestion. Wish i had asked a couple days earlier
cause that's where i got the two VFD's

I went with ebay and got two ohmite pots and two AB three position
switches. Total will be about $70, a bit more than the kid wanted to
spend. Oh well, the kid has always been good at spending dad's money.
Now its my turn.

I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties
that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.
Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that?

I began to give him a reasoned answer and he
cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”

I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”"
