push buttons that wwork

Comments:

I was surprised and pleased to find this rreplacement with one try on Google!

Good quality switch

Comments:

I bought this switch for a period art renovation I'm doing in a 1928 home. It functions fine. It's got a smooth acting mechanism to it, which is annoying because an authentic switch snaps really hard back and forth, but otherwise is nice.

Not even close

Comments:

This switch ""ting's"" when you turn it on and off. Do not buy this! After we read another review and someone had said to purchase the 3 way switch (much more sturdy when turning on/off), we did so and what a difference! Don't waste your money on the single switch...remember - you get what you pay for.

Not the same

Comments:

These switches are not the same quality switches that I had taken out during the removal of my knob and tube wiring. One switch was defective upon arrival and houseofantique hardware shipped me a new one so no complaints about their service but the switches are not smooth like the 100 year old switches. If they only had a ground and intact ceramic cases.........

As expected but pricey

Comments:

Well built and assembled product. Easy to work with. A bit pricey, but I could not find it elsewhere for less.

Puts the ""fun"" in functional!

Comments:

I had an electrician change out my togle switches. I can't believe we've owned this house for 13 years and just got around to this. I really like the ones with the pearl upper button, because it adds ambiance and for a novice it's more obvious which button is the ""on"" button. Just do it!

Nice appearance, cheap mechanics

Comments:

The appearance is nice, but the switch mechanics are awful in these. It not only clicks, but it gives off a vibration that resonates through the pushbutton. It feels really cheap, like a Chinese made plastic toy. These are made by Prange Electric. For some reason, the 3-way switches do not have this problem. If you can afford it, use the 3-way switches for all your switches and just leave the Traveller screw unconnected. I hope they fix this as this would be an awesome product otherwise.

two-way button switch

Comments:

Worked well. No problems. However, on a similar three-way button switch which I also purchased, one of the holes for a faceplate screw was not properly threaded. I had to ream out the hole to insert a screw.

Authentic looking reproduction

Comments:

This reproduction perfectly matches the original switches in my 1920's home. Very nice!
