Royal Dirt Devil Hand Vac Switches

[royalfan103]

So, years ago, I had to replace the switch on my Royal 500 Series after it got stuck and I tried freeing it with a mallet. The replacement switch came from a 103 Model. Today, I just found out the switches they used for the Royal Dirt Devil Hand Vacs are Defond Branded!

Specs:
4 or 5 Pin
125 Vac
4 Amp
Rare?

Hey

No it's not by any means rare. The switch was likely mass produced and put on many appliances or items.

It's a simple slide switch produced and sold for less than 1/2 a penny in value why would it ever be rare?

Thought it was rare

Because I couldn’t find any listings other than a lot of them. I’m thinking they’re discontinued because I looked on the Defond Website and could;’t find anything.

No

Big deal you live you learn.

Just the course of time. Companies, parts, products, all go obsolete and are lost. That is why we collect. To preserve, share, educate what has been forgotten.
