I need a new switchplate for the 3 switches right by the entrance door. Anyone got a spare?

Randy,

That is non-standard Despard switch plate, or at least I could not find one that was a match. If you go to a real electrical supply, they might have one. Not all manufacturers make all the possible products. I repaired mine with epoxy and fiber glass (like just about like many other things I repair).

I did buy a four switch version from Paul Smith at Shawnee and I believe he had another. Now I have forgotten what I wanted the fourth switch for....

Paul is in Traverse City MI and is in the GMCMI roster.

Mine's been epoxied a couple of times, but the plastic is brittle.

I have one in a parts coach, I haven't taken it out yet but it looks to be in one piece.
