Free to good home.

43 Amp mercury switch. Currently on eBay at £7.50 but free here to anyone who wants it. It was on an old slate distribution panel in a engine house we had here. (it's been here for at least 70 years) Embarassed

No mercury in the switch but the switch does look to be in good condition.
I don't know the solenoid coil operating voltage unfortunately.

If anyone wants it its free to all here on this UK engine forum site site but they would need to collect of pay the postage.
Let me know if you need any other info.

I remember when we used mercury switches in substations to switch in the power factor correction capacitors.
