Hunting for switches

[Zephod]

I'm hunting in vain for a SPTT switch. Has anybody any ideas where to get one? Its the toggle switch that controls my wipers - off, lo, hi or off on on. Mine is broken - its a bitch to get the damn wipers to turn off once they're on!

If you mean SPDT toggles they are available at any auto parts store or ebay.

There's the problem... They're Single Pole Triple Throw not Double

I think there were some on-off-on switches on Waytek.  They'll do what you need, but you'll have to adjust to having low speed down and high speed up.

I think I'd just go to a junkyard and find an old wiper switch from a 1960s vintage car and put in there. They were turn type activation, but they were three
position, if I recall correctly.

Maybe you could even order one from NAPA. Tell them you want a wiper switch for a 1965 Chevy.

Seems to me from reading this that you are looking for something like a ceiling fan switch that controls the three speed fan.

Everyday at the local hardware or big box lumber store.

BUT we could keep looking for alternative sources.

I have these switches on all my fans, wipers and etc..., they work very well.

Cole-Hersey would be my guess as well. They have a great selection of toggle switches. HTH
