Switchplated Editor B Thursday, 14 February 2008 7 I finally got the set of old Bakelite push-button switchplates I ordered from eBay.

Editor B Thursday, 14 February 2008 at 8:11 pm The switches themselves were expensive, but I got those in — jeez — 2006, I think. What’s new are the switchplates, the covers, the rectangular brown things. And they were cheaper.
