I've searched and searched, and I can't make up my mind about purchasing a replacement 6 volt positive ground turn signal switch.

My 1931 Victoria currently has functional turn signals operated by a toggle switch mounted on the left side panel beneath the dash (which is an awkward reach), but the system has no emergency flasher capability. I would like to replace the toggle switch with a switch mounted on the steering column, hopefully with a unit that has a 6 volt blinking light when the system is activated and hopefully with emergency flasher capability.

I definitely want to purchase a replacement switch, but I can't decide on *which* one. I see several low cost switches and several high dollar switches. I'm guessing a unit in the $80 to $100 range is probably the "sweet spot" for a quality switch.

Can anyone share their recent experience with their purchases of such a switch?
