I'll have to let him explain what the heck it does, features, ratings, amps, Volts, etc. Probably BORG power supply related is my guess.

It's phenolic black. And 2" from tip to base. A honker.

Found this little Surplus puppy at Hal-Ted Electronics in the Silicon Valley. I got it because it is 20-amp Mil-Spec rated. 2-poles one for each Megawatt. Rotary of course. Snap Action which means when turning the chicken-head knob spring pressure builds until finally SNAP it clicks to the next position. Mil Spec rated for one million cycles. Ten dollars. Made in USA by Americans who will probably vote for Donald Trump. Actually it's new-old-stock meaning the people are probably passed away.

Getting all this unplanned stuff jammed into that SOLA case is becoming a task.

Negative on that.
It is a multiple pole switch that he uses to interrupt power to the local store, his daughter's house, and the nearby Pemex refinery. ๐Ÿ˜‰
