Does anyone have a 4 wire switch available for sale?  Getting ready to re-assemble a 81, and thats the part I am lacking.  Thanks.

If you can't find one, you could replace the ballast which would allow 2 wire push buttons I believe.

      It's probably a good idea to just plan this into a restoration, since the ballast is in such a hard to reach location.

Good discussion as i just ran out of my last 4 wire switch as well and now am faced with replacing ballast and switch.

I know that Funtronics sells the ballast ,but didn't see the swithc, ,is it just any old 2 wire switch that I can pick up at Home Depot ? and how does the wiring work .. a diagram would be excellent since it will be different.

Thanks

I covered this before {converting from a 4-wire (push to start/pre-heat type) to a 2-wire (instant-start), but I see that the diagram is gone (like all of the other early post pictures) I'll seen if I have another diagram on my old IDE "drive in a can" (external IDE hard-drive case) from back then...
