Hi Levi,

How did you end up getting ahold of Derek? I'm trying to buy a reproduction switch switch for a GE Vortalex.

Thanks,

Rick

I sent him a PM on here and never heard back from him, I ended up getting an original switch from Michael Rathberger, who got a couple of original ceiling fan snap switches in a box of old electrical parts that he got from a flea market or something like that, he sent me the switch that was in the worse shape of the two (but was still functional) but it also turned out to be about an eighth of an inch too big to fit in the nose of my fan so I sent the nose cone along with the switch of my fan down to Florida where my uncle lives who works as a CNC machinist for one of the big pharmaceutical companies that makes prosthetic limbs and he's going to enlarge the hole in the nose cone for the switch so I can put the switch in the nose cone.
