3-Way Rotary Switch for 60s and 70s Airstreams

This 2-circuit, 3-way rotary switch fits mid-1970s and some later ceiling fixtures used in Airstreams. This switch is not exactly like the original but it works in conjunction with our Airstream Ceiling Light Lens (VTS-1285). It may work with other fixtures as well.

It has 4 positions and works with 2 sockets or 2 sets of sockets.

The 4 positions are:

• OFF
• Circuit 1 ON
• Circuit 2 ON
• Circuits 1 and 2 ON

It is rated to 6 amps. Be sure to read the rating on your current switch or add up the draw of your light bulbs to determine whether this is adequate.

The threaded portion extends 3/8″ from the top of the switch base (1″ from the bottom of the base).

The switch comes with a metal knurled knob. The old plastic knob does not fit this switch.

Some customers report this works well on the 1965 and 1966 rectangle diffusers too.

Wiring Tip: The 3 leads are labeled L, 1 and 2 on back side of black base. L is the black wire and it goes to your line voltage (hot/positive). The blue and red wires go the bulbs.
