Ron,
A couple of things to be aware of if you choose the Honeywell AML 34 series
which I used: Not sure if the data sheets have been corrected, but the
switches are dual throw single pole, not dual pole dual throw, ie they have
4 switch terminals + 2 light terminals. Since the internal bulbs only
illuminate one half of the operator (rocker), for proper convention (for on,
push top of rocker) the switches can only be mounted right side up,
therefore you can only engrave the top half of the operator if you want to
read them at night. If you use Aircraft Engravers to purchase and engrave
the operators, they should be aware of this since all of my operators had to
be re-done. Line of sight is still ok with top half engraving with my
extended length panel.
I also had to put the switches on a dimmer circuit since they put your eyes
out at night. Good luck!
