Ekco toggle on/off switch (AD76 etc) - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello,

Can anyone supply me with a working on/off switch for an Ekco roundie set, such as the AD76? The one in my set is completely open on one side and a modern toggle switch looks very out of place!

Many thanks,

My A22 has a switch on the volume control so no idea what you want.
A picture would help.
Is it an old Bulgin style toggle switch?

Sorry I haven’t got one up for grabs, but I do have a photo of one from an AD65, it looks very similar to one I had on a table lamp a while ago, so not an ‘Ekco special’ luckily!

I can probably get a better photo than that…

Regards
Lloyd

I've got one, which I think may be NOS. (It tests fine). It's a 2-pole changeover switch, which would be OK - just choose which pair of contacts you wish to use at one end or the other. It's rated at 250V 1A, marked Made in England, made by Arrow. Some not very good pics attached.

FOC if you'd like it Adrian.

Drop me a PM with your postal details if that's of use.
