Re: Anyone have a Rapidor?

Peter,

There are some old bits of linkage on the Dewhurst switch where the
lever and knob would normally be if fitted on a lathe, these are no
longer connected to anything. This suggests it was used as the cut off
switch. The mounting is fairly tidy, so maybe it was the original one.
The current wiring only has a bolt pressing a domestic light switch as
the cutoff, there is no on/off switch and no "no-volt" either - which
now you point it out would be desirable (more expense). All the current
wiring is going in the bin.
