This tip that Ned and Alvin put together did become a bona fide TT in the Legacy TT Page on March 1, 2012. HERE IT IS -- where you can see it all. In that TT, the "more discussion" leads back to this thread. So, it's still alive.
Great job everyone, special thanks to Alvin for getting all this together.

I did this handle switch-over deal when I was building my panel truck back in '94 and it worked perfect. Still working.
