Does anyone know where I can buy an original or original repop 1937 heater fan switch?

I'm not aware of anyone making accurate repops. Any of the vendors have switches that will work. If you want an OEM accurate switch you'll probably have to watch ebay for one and hope it works.

I have a new switch that looks very much like a 1937 switch and knob is solid dark brown in color - BUT IT IS A FOG LIGHT SWITCH.ALSO SAYS "FUSE INSIDE" ON FRONT OF KNOB. But the switch "front" faces down on a 1937 so would not be visable. Also the is just an off or on position as it has no rehostat.
$35.00 + postage.

Thanks for the info Gene, I found something similar on EBay. One question, did the original heater switches have a rehostat? The one in my ”˜37 that failed is an on-off switch.

The original switches in my ”˜37 both have rheostats and an internal light in the knob that changes in brightness based on the setting. There are 3 “speeds”.
