The chronological time-line of restoring @Indygbd & @wngrog 's H KNOB first generation heater blower / fan-pull switch :
- Part # 87290-60030
- initial specimen presented as-is condition , however a excellent complete core to fully restore ....
The switch is now completely dis-assembled down to its core bones
and all parts carefully evaluated for possible needed replacement
If they don’t meet my strict-azz specs.
Next up , ALL parts are restored back to my specs. in a PLANT A-11
Day 1 of first use mind-set approach ..
- all copper and brass is hand polished and hand dressed back to a like-new condition .
- this includes both the main switch box itself and it’s stand-off back door hatch being freshly re-plated in gold zinc , the new and latest
technique and purple iridescence UNICORNS
rich conversion chemical formula …
Prior to final assembly , the most critical step other then parts prep
is the application of fully synthetic water
proof dielectric grease to both the sliding switch box 
itself and the top contacts portions
If anyone wants to know or had no idea why Toyota Land Cruiser
Pull Switches can easily last and function properly from 1962 - 10/85
That can easily be 60 years and counting it’s because toyota took
the key moment and extra step by steps to apply a old-skool organic
formula if just this and in a application manner of just that ..
I often have wondered how long with average age , time and daily normal use can or could one of my restored pull switches last
Due to the introduction of some modern materials and updated prep.
assembly steps you see above and will see also below ….
Time will tell and History will be the judge ..
