Where to find VW Contact arms?

What year Volkswagen?

If you guys were going for a laugh, I certainly clicked the first link and got a good chuckle! However, I do wonder why this site does not have a postwar section - is it truly not that popular anymore?

have you checked with Olsen's?

or Jeff Kane?

I would try Davis Lyons in Burlington NC. He services all post war Lionel transformers and has lots of parts.

The short (outer) contact arms are available here.

Olsen's does not have any VW specific parts...

Jeff doesn't list them on his web site...

Rob, do you have a website/email for Davis?

Larry, I don't think seller doesn't know what he is talking about in this case (and I have bought from him before! Great store!) - I believe the VW arms are different than the ZW arms. I suspect they are ZW arms in this listing.

That EbAy site is Davis Lyons I believe. He sells there too.

Gene,

Looking for a VW Short Arm for the DU lever. I have attached some pictures of the part I am replacing. It is mu understanding that the ZW-56 and VW-56 arms are different in height and angle and are not interchangeable. I would be interested - contact me via my profile display email and if I think your pricing/shipping is reasonable, we've got a deal.

Got my part from Gene and it installed just fine. I replace all the rollers and have a very happy Lionel VW transformer (not Volkswagen!!!!).

So it does indeed seem that a VW-56 and a ZW-56 are at least interchangeable.

Thanks so much Gene!

I am glad it worked out for you. Nothing better than when a plan comes together!.

Gene

This was my VW-74; fit?

Sorry.
