Yep, there's about 65 on mine. (See my other post under the same subject.)
I just got to thinking after I sent my other post that rather than
relays, you could actually use 65 of those switches... That would be a lot
cheaper than relays. Some drawbacks are that you'd have to flip 65 switches
(maybe 30 some if you used double poled), and you'd probably have to be
careful to switch the power over last. (Best way would be to have a
battery cut-off in the cab and just kill the battery before switching
it over.) On the plus side, all those switches would make a great
conversation piece! ("Just call me Bond... James Bond. Now which
one of these is for the missle launcher?")
