    I would never of thought to look in Office Depot for Dino parts!

    That price is really steep for a column switch.

    If you have a steering column stalk switch set but it is broken then you may find it cheaper and better to have it repaired rather than purchase a new one.

    Remember that many of the NOS parts were made with bakelite or similarly poor materials that degrade over the last 40 years and can become brittle or prone to breaking

    I have a great condition US style column switch that could use a new headlamp twist knob which has a very slight crack, but which doesn't have any effect on its functionality. I've held off listing it on eBay until I found a replacement knob but it's fully functional and in excellent shape otherwise. Only reason it's no longer in my 71 Euro Dino is because I found a proper Euro switch (which Verell restored) and Euro style column cover to go with it. The US style switch has been in a box ever since.

    Used ones needing restoration seem to go for $700-800, but restoration can be another $1000 or so depending on condition of ends where stalks attach to the main body. Someone has been listing a repro for ~$1600. And there's that $2300 NOS one.

    But beware as there are several different styles/types of column switches and I'm not sure which are compatible with Dino's. Somewhere I recall seeing that info (from Matthias, of course), but I don't recall if it was on FChat or in an email I received quite some time ago.
