I did some more research (I googled a lot). And it seems that this is a
Dreefs T100-2WI-X11 Switch, available from rfparts.com. Wrong color but
I can probably merge the two switches to get the correct look. Here is
my disassembled switch:

And here is the one from rfparts: http://www.rfparts.com/t100-2wi-xii.html

Hi
I'm restoring a MicroPDP-11/73. I've made some initial notes here:
http://www.pdp8.se/pdp1173_restore.shtml
The ON/OFF rocker switch is broken. Three small plastic teeth that
hold the springs in place have broken of and a forth is cracked and
will soon break. I've tried three different kinds of glue without a
getting a strong enough bond. I will make another attempt with a
fourth kind.
But, I wonder if these are available somewhere? The only marking I've
found is "UND.LAB.INC.LIST" which seems to be a brand with several
different kinds of rockers, some available but not the one used on
this MicroPDP-11. By the looks of it, the same switch is used on
MicroVAX. In the meantime I will probably take one from a spare machine.
I'm borrowing a picture from the net here, but it is like the switch
labled "1 0" here:
