I bought a headlight switch for my '54 Ranch Wagon from Shoe Box Central. It was a Carpenter switch and it was defective. The rheostat wire wasn't seated correctly so the knob wouldn't turn completely and the knob shaft wouldn't stay locked into the switch. Shoe Box immediately sent a replacement no questions asked and a return sticker to send the defective on back. The replacement rheostat is fine but the shaft took a bit to lock in. Hopefully it will remain in place. Not the best quality. I expected more from Carpenter but it is what it is.
