Thanks all,
I take all of the advice and comments here to heart. So far I have had a couple of people say I would have a couple for stock but no one saying they desperately need them.
I take Tony's points particularly due to his vast experience with this. I certainly don't expect to make a fortune out of them, but thought it could offset some of the costs on other projects, while helping people out.
Charles, I hadn't even thought about ebay. It is probably a good call, I shall put some on and see what happens you never know sometimes things go crazy.
With regard to the batch, I have just ordered the brass to make 24 of them, these I will do in odd moments and then let people know when they are ready and available. I believe I can do them at a pretty good price without working slave labour rates. If those sell I may do a few more but might end up being a bit more of a "friends and family" thing as and when they are needed.
Hopefully it should allow a few more switch panels to re-enter service over the next few years.
Thanks again.
Tom
