Model/Electronics shops Cork

beer enigma

I've already tried Marks models and they dont have what I need.

My son is about to submit his engineering project and it needs a six pin 3 way switch that will work with a battery as the one he has failed.

Schoold don't have any more, just trying to think of any 'Maplins' type shops in cork that may have one

Could a light switch set up do?

No its has to be a very small switch, I'll see if I can post a pic

Motor factors maybe.

Ah got ya, as above motor factors could be worth a shot.

Radionics maybe? Next day delivery, it is usually reliable. https://ie.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=services/delivery-methods

You could try an auto electrician too maybe

.red.

Ring some of the truck/hgv garages, they might have a few in stock that they'd let you have.
They'd fit those for the likes of flashing beacons or for an external light on the back of a cab.

Try Motorway across from Harvey norman or else J.C Desmonds in Ballyphehane. They should have some something.

BailMeOut

19 in stock and you can get in one working day.

Pop into UCC or CIT and start asking around. They'll definitely have something

Not exactly what you're looking for but if they can be adapted I have these -

I'm based in the city centre. You'd be welcome to have a couple of them for free.

You're very kind thank you but I'm hoping we are sorted.

He needs reverse so has to be the six pin dpdt but amazing generosity, thank you.
