Hello Phil, hope you are still looking for some of those switches.
Sorry to be so late responding, but I'm not a regular on the O Gauge forum and had a phone message from a friend who is when I got home today after a week away.
I have 13 O gauge manual switches of various types and conditions. Following is a list. All have have direction indicators and working lights except as indicated.
- 2 pr 042 (2 L, 2R) in excellent condition, I will test.
- 3 pr 042 not as good looking and need testing. I have five mechanisms so can make 2 pair plus one right or left.
- 1 pr 021 (prewar) with green base
- 2 RH 021 with black base
The 021 switches need work. I can sell them as is or I can fix them. I'd be glad to photograph them and send to you so you can see how they look.
As to price, I will see fully tested and good looking 042 switches for $35 a pair. Prices fo the others depend on what work you'd like done on them. Altogether,I'd say $100 to $150 for your five pairs.
As background on me, I buy old Lionel stuff that has been sitting for years in basemens and attics. I clean it up, make it work and sell (usually) on Ebay. But I'm open to independent dealing.
Hope this interests you.
