I'm looking for 3 of the old type MK Metalclad "Secret Key" gridswitches, the ones that fit onto a rail using a clip top & bottom of the switch and then are covered by a silver coloured steel front plate with rounded corners . Anyone any ideas?
Apparently the newer type (plastic) wont fit because of the front panel aperture sizes and I need to tamper proof 3 out of 8 switches on a panel.
If you mean the original gridswitch size, it's long obsolete, probably by some 25 years. The only piece I seem to have left in the junk box is a 6370 -- a 20A two way with centre off toggle switch. I bought it in
1980 to control a projector screen motor, and it was so difficult to get hold of even then, that when I managed to find one, I got two of them just in case. Hence the spare.You could replace the whole grid and faceplate with the current grid plus range. They aren't very expensive.

That would be my advice. The only old MK grid bits I happen to have now are a few plates, yokes and 2 way switches. I haven't needed to use any of it for years, in fact, it's going in the bin, I'm fed up of hoarding s**te that I'll never use!
Stick it on Ebay. Can be posted, so little extra work. Someone will want it.

Good thinking batman, look out for a shed full of gear on eBay any day now!
I'd suggest you split the contents into separate lots and sell the shed separately. Probably get more bidders that way.

I've tried weighing the shed to calculate postage but I may make that 'buyer to collect' only.
