Looking for old Oak Industries catalog - around 1973

Nov 08, 2019 11 Replies

Anyone have a collection of Oak Industry parts catalogues for old style switches? I am trying to find the part number for a switch used in the early 70s to enable me to possibly track some of these down on the surplus market.

Looking for 6 or more of these rascals. The white button is not as important, I can make those if needs be...



Thanks!

Maybe someone has an old EEM catalog from that era?

I have a bunch of Radio Electronic Master parts catalogues starting in

1972 going back to 1942 - no OAK Industry parts in the later ones though. They probably asked manufacturers to pony up to get listed in these catalogues and Oak didn't.

I remember them in the EEM, and possible the Thomcat (Thomas Register Catalog). I had one old enough, but it was lost during a move. About 25 pounds of bound paper. :(

Have you searched

for anything from Oak?

I think you meant

not rchive.org...

Quite a bit of stuff to hunt through, may help though. I do use the wayback machine a lot checking up on obsolete parts and web sites that have faded away..

Thanks,

Yes. My vision is poor at the moment. I had to go a month without my Glipizide, and it is a real pain stabilizing my Glucose level, again. Until then, you can expect some typos.

What is the full title of the EEM? I am afraid I am not familiar with that acronym...

Still hunting for the switch information. The original manufacturer has no information left on it according to the Regional Sales Manager who responded to my inquiry...

Thanks!

Ah, Electronic Engineers Master catalog - EEM.
