  • Looking for old Oak Industries catalog - around 1973

    Anyone have a collection of Oak Industry parts catalogues for old style switches? I am trying to find the part number for a switch used in the
    early 70s to enable me to possibly track some of these down on the
    surplus market.

    Looking for 6 or more of these rascals. The white button is not as
    important, I can make those if needs be...

    Thanks!

    http://oakgrigsby.com/

    Of the three links, the last (and shortest) one is the "mother ship" for Oak Switches. Oak started as Oak, became Marco-Oak, ultimately, Oak Grisby.

    I expect that you should be able to find something suitable at that last link.

    Best of luck!

    Isn't Oak now part of Electroswitch?
