I need those too - some of my Altair switches

another and need replacing (the smaller data/address switches are
fine). If anyone tracks down the correct type of switch please post
a link here! Or if you have any for sale shoot me an email.
The site I linked to from C&K is a good example of how a manufacturer's
web site should be--parameterized search with vendor stock check. So,
for example, the momentary on-off-on 20V PC mount unthreaded with 10.67
mm handle would be 7105SY9V3BE--and Arrow has about 150 in stock.
So you reckon those 7105SY9V3BE would suit the Altair? OK I'll go shopping.
I've had a wee Google for Altair pics and mine seems to be an oddball.
Most of the pics I've seen have all the switches the small type with
rounded 'baseball bat' ends. A couple had all the switches the larger
type with rectangular 'cricket bat' ends. Mine is the only one I've
ever seen with a mixture; small switches for address and data - large
for the control switches. See:

Anyone seen another like this?
