The original panel has 10 switches and I had added a 4 position switch panel below a 2 switches above. Then there are the newer devices with their own in line fuses and the new stuff that's doubled up on the existing switches. In short, between the dumb stuff that I've done and the dumb stuff that P.O.'s have done it's a real cluster. I'm hoping to have 4 or 5 unused switches when I'm finished sorting things out. Space is very tight so I'm sticking with the existing terminal strip and buss bar which located directly below the fuse/switch panel, about 6' wire run, in the engine box.

Thanks, David. My friend, John, built a new panel for his boat last summer. I picked his brains and borrowed heavily from his work. I also have a collection of antique amateur radio tube transmitters and receivers that I try to keep on the air with a lot of support form far more knowledgeable friends. They range in age from the mid-1930's to the early 1960's. Replacing worn out switches and leaky old components is a familiar exercise. This is a late 50's vintage National HRO-60 receiver. All those bright yellow capacitors are new. The little resistor and ceramic cap on the table were all it took to make this radio completely deaf.
