vintage aircraft inertia switch PM's?

[rotorpowa]

Hi all,
I just purchased three inertia switches and was wondering if anyone has had anything to do with these. They are over 50 years old, I didn't pay much for them and I'm not sure if they will contain much or any PM's. I can also get a heap of other parts such as gauges, micro switches, relays, junction boxes and maybe some radio gear. Any advice would be appreciated on what to look for in this area, its all old equipment.







Thanks Rob

does it contain electronics or is it mechanical? have you opened one up to see whats inside?

i have a friend that acquired a gyroscope from the guidance system from a modern torpedo. it had four 22 AWG solid gold wires about six inches long. this was in the late 90's. it would be nice to find something like that.

Wonder what would happen to the plane if you installed it upside down or even sideways. :mrgreen:
