Strange old switches?
« on: Wed, 06 September 2017, 01:43:27 »
Here's an old Telex terminal monitor and keeb for sale.





I'm not suggesting anyone buy it, but as the seller's been good enough to include a close-up of one of the switches, I'm curious what they are.





Any ideas? I can't find anything resembling it anywhere. Enhanced version:

Mmm those THICC doubleshot caps!

They look pretty dusty, though. Which Honeywell Hall Effect don't like too much.

Cool! I was familiar with HE switches of course, but didn't recognize these for some reason.
