Well, one of my Gargraves O-72 switches is giving me fits so I'm leaning towards replacing it with a Ross O-72 switch.

 

Ross does not seem to offer a parallel transition piece for their O-72 switches.

 

Question:  will my Gargraves O-72 transition piece still work with a new Ross O-72 switch?

 

Thx for your help!

You could compare your GG switch with the Ross 072 pdf file w/ dimensions if you haven't done so already:

Thanks for the input, folks.  Much appreciated. 

 

I never realized that Ross offered the PDF feature.  That's handy to have.

 

If I'm real lucky (unlikely) the curved piece of the switches are the same.  But if the curved piece on the Ross switch is longer, I should be fine as I'll just need to break out the Dremel tool and shorten it to match the Gargraves.  Problem solved.  Happy switching.

 

Where I'll run into trouble would be if the Ross curved section is shorter.....b/c then I'd need to cut a very short filler piece....which will probably make the switch run very rough, unfortunately.
