Guest imported_Boehmke Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 1937hd45::We have no picture of the switch for the mag. We do however have pics of the magneto itself. This switch we need would be a multi position switch that mounts on the dashboard. We don't know of any other ones,except Gen. Pershings back east and it is also missing the mag. switch. Hope you can help,Jim Boehmke, 925-447-6670 cell 925-918-1523 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsfarms Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hello,Should you confirm the switch type you need, I do have one that is very close to the Bosch style in the picture. How far along is your Locomobile? They are great driving cars!Regards, Alan alsfarms@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobourgkid Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 You pre 20s loco fans may be interested in the attached link ( unfortunately no dash pis though) http://www.prewarcar.com/read_article.asp?ID=1314Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Boehmke Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 if anyone knows of a Locomobile of 1919 vintage in a collection or display we would be happy to know of it so we could fly there and get some pics of this Magneto switch. Thanks again. Jim 925-447-6670 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Boehmke Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Please see the attachment that Stephan posted. We have now found out that the Magneto switch in his picture is exactly what we need for our General Sherman style 1919 Locomobile. We're pray'in someone can pull through for usMany thanks for the help boys,Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamShovel1923 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I may be possible that I have something like that, its a multi-position switch that I've never seen anything like. The age would be right, I know its round and looks as though it mounts on a dash. I do have hundreds of rare car parts, just the other day I found a rearend for a early Knox truck.Thanks Dandmartin7000@starband.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm a Buick man, but is this the magneto switch you are looking for?BOSCH, 3 position "M" "O" "A", Patent applied for 26889, 4 VOLTS and the direction in English "Not position A when resting" which is repeated underneath in German and then French.I believe this is switch and coil, will try and attach a couple of photos.

Guest imported_Boehmke Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Stuart, thanks for posting the pic, this however is not the correct switch. The correct one is posted in a post above. I'll send you a pic to your email. Glad you're looking around for us. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Jim,Is that not a BOSCH switch in the photo posted by Stephen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Boehmke Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Stuart, it is possible, we are not sure. The magneto on the engine is Berling, but the mag switch might be Bosch or Berling or who knows. Stephan's pic shows the general layout of the unit. The mag switch would fit into a hole in the dash that measures 2.815", there are four equally spaced mounting holes on a 3.675 dia.bolt circle. Thanks for your input. If you find anything please email me at jbcactus@c-zone.net Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
