Per your seperate post covering his passing, so long to Walter Cronkite. With all due respect to NBC, he was the face of network news in our household as I grew up. Yet another link to the past departed. All the Best, Uncle Walt.
How about posting a closeup shot of the switcher? It might be interesting for those who've never seen one up close to see the source labels on the buttons.

Dan: My eyes are glazed over after about 2 minutes every day! And yes, Walter was the best, I agree.
