Vintage Cutler Hammer switches

[jabberwoki]

Ive got a soft spot for these , i've restored a few for my setup.
But today i scored BIG.
The first 2 pix are of the as found shots of the pinstriped one in the 3rd pic and the rest are the restored or NOS units in have.
The last 2 show the new whoppers i scored, the pix don't do them justice for how big they are. ****** heavy.

Nice score there. The big old Cutler Hammer disconnect enclosures were very stylish. I've converted a couple of those to useful storage cabinets over the years. Here's a pic of one in my shop that holds some Van Norman tooling. It had the right look. After gutting it I had to plug a bunch of knock out and cut out holes in this one to make it useable. Ed.

Yeah that's my plan too . Have to make sure they are well attached to the wall , they are so heavy.
I'm so going to have to visit your shed.

I picked up this little guy yesterday, intending to put in to use on my 6" AAMCO shaper. Does anyone know of a good source for online catalogs for C-H?

edit: doing a little digging, found one on eBay, seems it is from the late '30s, and is rated for up to 1hp. Perfect!

Nice score. They have such style.

I sourced a pair for my dual-gang Rockwell DP after I got it.

Very nice.
I love those.

from the era when stuff had style

Everything had style then, a bygone era!

I like 'em too. Here are a couple of mine in use on machines.
