Soviet cosmic button switch, surplus

Can you say... "MIR". These buttons are meant for wet and difficult conditions. There are even rumors that these were also used in cosmic conditions! Made of the best materials available in the Soviet Union, metal and bakelite!

Note! Yes, these are actually from the good old bad old Soviet Union, and thus have no kind of modern certificates for electronic equipment. So, we will not take responsibility if you decide to use these for your own purposes and get electrocuted or anything. Sold only as a collectible.

Underwater bad guy lairs, jungle antenna bases, East German human experiment labs, entire space stations held together with duct tape... All these could be found under the Soviet Sphere of Influence. And the huge control boards and computers of these places needed impressive buttons. Someone made buttons according to five-year plans and apparently there was some "excess". Some business-minded warehouse employee saw a chance to earn a buck and sold these.

The washers around the button can be screwed off, so you can just drill a hole on the platform of your choice and bolt the button on it. The operation principle is simple: press the button and contact surfaces engage, lift your finger, and the surfaces separate.

Genuine Soviet surplus

The story is the same old classic: these were stocked in some Soviet-governed military base in a country behind the Iron Curtain, and when the Cold War ended, someone found these and "made a fortune" with them. These are all unused, still waiting for their first hot launch!
