i cant find the site now but the basic idea was that you epoxy the reed switch to the inside of the caseand then you a knob on the outside of the case. the underside of the knob has a rare earth magent iserted in it and a detent ball and spring..if  mount two switches 180 degrees apart that would handle fow/rev. the trick for mag coupling to thepots is basicaly the same . you mount a disc on the end of the shaft withtwo mags  north north and on the hadle two mags south south

Hi Rick.

 

You wrote......"waterproofing electronics
    atkins check the rebreather page for ideas on mags switches. the same
trick would work using a mag coupler to a potensiometer through an alum or
acrylic cover plate for your speed control input."

What page (and where at) were you referring to for me to check the rebreather mag switches?

 

Also, where could I find that magnetic coupler and pot you mentioned that would turn the pot through a cover plate?

 

Thanks, Bill.
