Is that a Carling 800 series? I've been trying to find a source for the carling 800-5, not the 5a, the A means it has on off position which I don't want. What you have pictured would still be better than the NKK alternative - I just wouldn't use one of the poisitions, is there a source for these?

1 3/16" will work - aren't those expensive? or do you have a good source?

I found those at TAD.
Seems like there'd be a domestic source, but I haven't found it yet.
Maybe it's surplus?

That would work.

Granger has the Carling 800-5A in stock at less than 8 bucks. Any one know how to get the 5 selections (100,120,220,230,240) out of an off-on-on-on-on switch? Actually maybe there really isn't an off position according to note2 in this document:
