Hey Everyone,
I along with others have had a horrible time trying to find and purchase the popular Aveo RockRack switches and covers. I am determined to use them on my project and am a guy that just doesn't know when to give up. I need two of them. And I've looked everywhere. They are gone.
I tracked down and spoke with a contact at the original manufacturer of the switches and got some great information. The actual switches are current products and readily available to order. The covers can be purchased with simple on/off labeling or custom laser engraved symbols, similar to what Aveo had.
I'm trying to gauge interest for these as there will inevitably a minimum order, but it may not be as large as you would expect. Since they are laser engraved, there is no start-up cost and the company can do a small run on them. They are checking now if they still have the aviation symbols on file and if they are available to use (not under a non-disclosure agreement, copyright, etc).
I can't make any guarantees this little endeavor is even possible yet, but I'm willing to put in a sizable order and reselling these to folks individually to recover the cost and postage (I don't want to make money, it's not worth the tax ****).
So what are your thoughts, if these types of switches were available still and priced right, would folks be interested?
I should have some more information on Monday/Tuesday so stay tuned and please let me know.
Thanks,
Tim
