That model goes with the -8/L/e/f/m, and most likely the 11/20. The
"long rocker" type I recall from the -8/S/i, and the Digital Lab. The
"triangular" type goes with the 11/35/45/70.
I don't recall if the Straight-8 uses identical actuators as the ones
in the auction above, or not. The tips look the same, but having
never seen them out of context, I don't know if they are identical, or
merely similar.
Personally, if someone ever does replicate actuators, I'd be primarily
interested in the -8/L/e/f/m type first, and the -11/34/35/70 type
second. For now, though, I'll sit on the sidelines until someone
claims success and starts listing prices.

All this talk
about DEC switch handles has me wondering exactly what
is being discussed. When removed from a front panel, exactly what
does one of these doodads look like?
Here's a nice side view of one of the ones for some of the PDP-8's.
