While not strictly OT, I figure if any crowd would know an answer to this,
this one would. I'm building some electronic toys that need a retro look.
I'm looking for some toggle switches (SPST) with long paddle handles, very
old school. All I can find in the regular catalogs have anemic small
paddles. Any pointers?
Do you have any pictures of vintage equipment with the kind you are
looking for? There are C&K switches with wide paddles, but they tend
to run $4-$6 in small (under 100) quantities.
You might start looking at the C&K line. They have detailed part
numbers that specify connection type, paddle length/width, color, etc.
Without knowing what look you are going for, it's hard to recommend a
specific part of specific vendor.
