To follow up on last week let’s have a closer look at the operation of the power windows. With special attention to the Ducellier window switches.

Very satisfying cleaning old mechanical switches like that. I have hade good success repairing some plastic with bicarbonate soda and supper glue. Thanks again for sharing. 👍

I have seen this technique but haven’t actually tried it myself. I do use a two part plastic repair resin for this purpose but it is very expensive as it’s a motor trade product. I am interested to try the super glue and bicarbonate trick .

If you mix the soda with the ground up lead from a carpenters pencil 50 50 before adding the glue it is stronger and black in colour.

These are indeed beautiful stylish switches from another era now. And this video has made me google Ducellier - and have found that there are some interesting old electrical parts for sale out there. Every day is a school day with you Mark! 😃👍

When this stuff is made well it is a joy . Not an exciting episode but it could be useful.

Lovely, made so you can service it and it potentially can last for hundreds of years..

Yes really nice piece of design! I really should have explained more about just how well thought out it is. The only reason that the base gets broken is that people try to use the edge to pry against. But now you know how to take them apart properly.
