    Default Hercus push buttons

    I am looking for a couple of push button contacts from a Hercus machine from the 1970s-1980s. The buttons I am talking about where used on the Milling machine and the #1 Tool and Cutter grinder. The part I am after a couple of is Siemens 3SA10 Contact block 500V.

    There are some on ebay but at over $100 for shipping I am holding of in case somebody who can ship to me more reasonably has something I can use.

    sorry not the switches I am looking for. Here is a photo of the type I need. In particular the red one and the green one. the rotary knob for the light would be an absolute bonus too.

    This one includes the switch mechanism.

    VFD remote switches all operate at low logic V so the power ratings don't really matter and you can use almost any switches.

    Eskimo and BobL

    I am after the same as the original simply to make the machine look original so thanks for the thought Eskimo but at the moment I am holding out for the real deal. The machine has two VFDs buried inside but the only give away is the single phase plug. The Siemens mushroom head model 3SA11-40 is really all I need now. As BobL says i am only switching the 24v logic of the VFD's with the slight twist that I am switching it separately for each VFD to avoid connecting there separate logic circuits together.
    I do have the stackable contacts that go behind the switch head on the way from the US so I am looking only for the actual switch actuator.
