[cctalk] Looking for front panel switch

??Many of the classic Rocker & Lever Actuator switches from the 1960s & 1970s were discontinued, due to industry consolidation (M&A) in 1990s and the convert or obsolete decisions (RoHS compliance), a decade later. This likely means you will need to ?adopt? to current offerings == OR == plow through remaining discontinued surplus parts. For example, Mendelsons only lists about 5% of their Dayton warehouse inventory. https://meci.com/electronics/parts/switches/rocker.html == These Large Actuators are sometimes referred to as Wide Paddles. C&K refers to this PC board mounting as the V3 Style, VERTICAL MOUNT, V-BRACKET It is still offered for the C&K ?T-series? Subminiature Toggle Switches. https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/60/ttoggle-1324393.pdf C&K Selector Guide (current production models) http://www1.futureelectronics.com/doc/C%20-%20K%20COMPONENTS/D102J12S115DQA… NKK (Japan) refers to this mounting style as Bracket & Reinforced Bracket for their ?M-series? Miniature Rocker Switches. You purchase the Actuators separately, for the pivot ? like your example. https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/295/MrockersSnapin-29723.pdf gb === From: "Charles" <xxxx at centurytel.net> To: "cctalk digest" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Looking for front panel switch At some earlier time, I'd either lost (or cannibalized for a PDP-8) one of the switches. Subminiature SPDT toggle switches are readily available bracket and the "ears" to hold the paddle lever pivots. Attached is a picture showing part of the front panel. https://imgur.com/bIrmZt7 Does anyone have a matching switch they're not using? I have a spare black lever, but it's supposed to be blue for that nibble which would be even better ;) Thanks for any help. ==
