[Light in the Dark]

Thanks to those who have committed. I am going to put the order in tomorrow morning. You have until then to add to the tally. Thanks

Electroswitch is telling me a tentative ship date to me is 5/10/21. I will update folks when I have them in my hands. Thanks again.

If and when someone does another order I'll take three.

The group buy didnt make it to 50, but I did buy a couple extra for myself in case just this situation arose. I will private message you. Thanks

OK so they gave me a tracking number Monday, but it hasnt moved yet. I called them and they assure me its shipping out today. So if they hit tomorrow, all should ship Friday. Otherwise it might roll to Monday. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the update. No worries it's a spare for me.

My MEP-802A had a blue S1 that would hang in the start position so I started looking for a replacement. I found another blue one on the auction site for $90 and passed. I sent an email to Electroswitch: I wanted the NSN 5930-01-531-2976, Model 75902LV version. The folks at Electroswitch indicated that this is an active model and could be purchased. The quote I received looked like this.

Is your rotary switch 75902LV available? It is a Series 31 switch used in military generator sets as the Master Switch.

Thanks,
Bls

Pdf is the Electroswitch drawing, images show old and new switches, and the installed unit. The several Electroswitch people I interacted with were very helpful and made the purchase quite easy.....as long as you can stomach the cost. I wanted an OEM 75902LV and am quite happy with my purchase. Note the diode is not included with the switch - I reused the one that was on my blue switch.

Hope this info helps others with the dreaded blue switches.....

I have ample stock of these and can send express shipping [overnight] $135.00 or USPS priority $120.00 please email direct to libbysales@austin.rr.com thanx mac/mc

Received the three switches yesterday, Thanks LITD.
Question: Do I replace my functioning old style switch now or wait till it does break and I need the generator?

 

[Light in the Dark]

When you say old style, are you referring to the blue plastic Kraus & Naimer?

YUP. They work freely and I don't feel it takes undo force to operate them.

In my NOS 2009 unit, its outfitted with blue switches (only has 19 hours now since I've owned it). I will be pulling the blue switch out and using it as a part for a future repair... for whatever that's worth.

Phenolic keyed shaft on the plastic unit, all metal on the Electroswitch. I'm not interested in a failure at the wrong time, on my personal machine.

Was leaning that way, guess I will have a spare plastic switch now.

I've tossed many blue over the years. One example of what I would aim to avoid on my own machine. It often just shears off flush with the switch body. Cheap, cheap...

I have a 75902LV in the mail. I understand that the numbers correspond with the K & N Blue switch. I am going to use the diode #1 to #7. I am curious about the jumper that was on the K & N. Did you have to use it? I have not used schematics in a looooong time, but am busy re-learning.

 

[Farmitall]

Well crap! Life got busy around here and I lost track of this thread and never got a PM from anyone who had ordered these switches in the past. My how the time has flown by!

Earlier in the thread I committed to three of these switches if a group buy occurred and will still hold to that if anyone has switches on hand and willing to sell them for a reasonable price.

I'd like to have at least one spare on hand if possible. Please PM me here

Thanks,

The 75902LV does not require any jumpers to be added to it. Simply put the diode across terminals 1 & 7 and then hook the wire harness wires up to the switch.

The only thing I reused from the blue K&N switch was the diode. The Electroswitch drawing in my original post notes this. The 75902LV is a much better switch than the blue plastic versions.

Thank you. I studied the literature and the schematic and concluded that must be so, but your real-life experience sealed it! I appreciate your willingness to share something even so simple and obvious.
