Gewiss Playbus catalogue

[Whitelighter]

I cannot find a catalogue for the Gewiss Playbus stuff anywhere.

Headley and Ellis don't list any of it in their online catalogue and going to Gewiss.com yields no results, they just have their domestic stuff.

Any suggestions, one with prices even better

I've never found a priced catalogue online; Google will find various pdf catalogue extracts and then you need to call H&E with part numbers to get prices (they are very helpful on the phone).

Agree with Jimmy having bought loads of it over the years
Jez I've just fwded you an email with contact at hedley for pricing/quoting. To yr yahoo email. Hedley and ellis are very efficient/nice to deal with
Is it just a couple of odds n ends you need? Got boxes of stuff

 

[Whitelighter]

I'll email H&E

What happened to all their nice switches used by Fairline and princess.
The ones on the catalog Jimmy linked to are uninspiring at best

Jez, I really do think you should keep your boat authentic, you don't want that rubbish fitted to Fairlines .

 

[jfm]

The ones used by F and P, and s'seeker, are in Jimmy's linked catalogue

A light switch might for example be a bank of GW30002 with H+E blue LED backlighting insert, clicked into a mount frame not shown in Jimmy' catalogue, and finished with a trim, in my case chrome GW3207x but you can have other colours. A 230v socket would be the same but with a GW32019 clicked into the mount frame

Like this

I also have Gewiss fitted on my F43 Jez, so if your ordering anything PM me and let me know, I need some of the square antique gold faceplates, I could do with replacing some on my boat!

 

[Whitelighter]

ah ok

I couldn't see the ones with the illuminated line of dots across the middle - just illuminated graphics etc. I understand the modular system, very similar to what the boat has already (in fact I think they are a gewiss copy).

Hang on - I did say 'if Pete doesn't want it'. Im not 100% certain its suitable yet, need to research the parts but am too knackered today

Only winding you up Jez, but couldn't go to a better home if it works for you.

Evening All
Any advice on removing these modular units?
I have a UK 3-point plug unit
http://www.luckinslive.com/product/381931979/Gewiss-UK-Ltd/GW30219?f=ks&q=GW30219&st=all&em=

to replace the Euro plug. Cant seem to unclip it and am wary of using brut force. Any user experience ?

Many thanks

Have you got the bezel off? These are held on with little clips at each side; the easiest way to get the bezel off is to move it to one side (to release the pressure on that side on the clip) and then pull it forward. I'm not explaining this very well, sorry. For example, push the bezel to the right, and then you should be able to pull the right side forward from the frame. Once you've got the bezel off, the frame is just screwed to the wall. Once you get the frame out, you should be able to see how the modules are clipped into the frame from behind.

Sorry Jimmy, yes removed bezel and unscrewed plug body from wall.
I couldn't find the best way on unclipped the square plug unit from the plastic body. I could see clip part but didn't want to force.

Does it come forward out of the body (what I thought it would) or does it come out the back of the body(would be surpised as could be forced out when plugging in).

Is there a good instrument to use ?

Could find instructions with google search and found the spares in bowels of boat

I've only done this a couple of times, and not recently, but my recollection is that the module goes into the frame from behind. I think you just need a very small plain screwdriver to ping the clips and then you can work the module out of the frame.

 

[bluetooth]

Yep. Bezel plate pops off. Unscrewed unit from wall and then modular socket has 4 clips that need careful release and socket comes out forwards. Little delicate mind!
Just need a spare one of these screws now (have 2 of 3 needed for last socket to change)?

 

[petem]

If you get stuck then Headley and Ellis have the whole socket for about £7. You could then keep the one you have as a spare (re-using the screws if you break one in the future).

 

[bluetooth]

Was taking some more of these off and found my explanation wasnt fully accurate as i'm doing a swap with a euro fairline owner. The socket is released and pushes out backwards as per these pictures (not forwards as i said in #17). Hope this helps others. Once you know how its a v quick job else you are concerned about snapping the plastic. The bezel lifts gradually once you have eased it up at one end.

Anyone know if the chrome light switches with blue led locators are still available ?. For 2005 P42.
