Air step mercury switches
I'm happy you got her going. My setup does not look anything like yours.

There are parts of the electrical drawing that simply don't compute. Calling
the switches "mercury" is only part of it.

I went ahead with a fabrication, and it is working fine.

The original was about 20 gauge, and I replaced with 12 gauge. I had to make
two attempts at it to get the length just right; after that it was just a matter
of releasing the switches and moving them to make a solid contact with the plate
at each end of travel.
