Here’s a link to my latest design, which I used at our last show:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ejmcglynn/recipmotor/update-10-17-03/switch.jpg
...and the associated .mpd file:

Credit goes to Chris Alano for the drive mechanism.

Ed, the .mpd file is missing a part. MLCAD tells me file X169.dat is
missing! I *think* its the rubber band you used for the design but I’m not
sure. Could it be possible for you to update the .mpd file. Thanks

Ahui -
You can find the missing x169.dat file here, thanks to Orion Pobursky:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?n=4282
If you can’t locate it, I can send it to you.
That’s the Technic 1x2 Liftarm that I use in the model’s Lever.dat subfile.
It’s a critical element, as it connects the floating, rotatable axle with
the pin attached to the peice that drives the switch mechanism...a picture
would do better here, but I’m an FTX clutz.

...dang - caught again!
Well, I just think of them as “pre-official” parts. :^)
By the way, I posted instructions here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ejmcglynn/recipmotor/update-10-17-03/instructions/assembly01.jpg
...just modify file name assembly01.jpg through assembly35.jpg.
Folder after moderation:

I should also point out that the yellow 9v point lever part needs to be replaced
with 2496.dat, Wheel Trolley to keep the lever from slipping up and away from
the switch plate teeth during actuation.
