Do the DG handles have the same problems as DEC
switch handles?
(fragile pivots that break off)
Ethan - Yes. They have the exact same "pins" on each side of the plastic that
break off pretty easily I believe the DG handles on the nova 3, and Eclipse
S/130 (and similar models) are virtually identical to some DEC switch handle.

Looking at your picture, I'd say that is not identical to any DEC
switch handle I know of. The C&K switches in that photo _are_
identical to the 11/70 switch bodies (and mounting frame) we've been
discussing, but not the plastic actuator past the pivots.
I bet they would fit on the identical CK switches
we've been discussing... I know it's not the /40 style nor the 8 style. I'll
do some digging.
Yes. Those handles would fit the newer DEC switches (not the PDP-8/L
or PDP-8/i era stuff with slide switches entirely unlike C&K "red"
switch bodies).
