Was the original switch all black or was the switch chrome. I've seen both types.

Mines original and chrome

Ditto on the chrome.

While your working on it, did the factory do a real sloppy job cutting out the hole for it on yours?

Yes, mine is sort of sloppy. Is their suppose to be a bezel of some sort on the outside? Mine does not have one and the looking at the diagram I do not see one.

No bezel, just looks like Jim's

Yep Jim just like it.

I added a picture in the last post. No trim. I've burned through 4-5 switches through the years. I used to put the top up and down a lot when it was a daily driver. There are threads here where owners have put relays in the circuit to dampen the high current that burns the switch points.

I've only seen the black switch being reproduced. Is there a source for the chrome switch? I've seen a few Nos on ebay . I currently have a black switch.

PY part number RFI242

Great thanks

Mine is black (early 68) and it is original.

Mine is also black, original 68 model....

For the ones that are black and original, how do you know they are original? Are you the original owner?

Thanks

Yep, purchased new January 1968. Never a problem with the top motor or switch.

cool. Thanks. Maybe I'll just leave the back switch in then.
