You should really get on Digi-Key or other distributor who

C&K obsoleted the exact model, they very likely still make a
compatible part. Digi-Key shows 408 items when I search on
"C&K 7101". Some of those REALLY look like stuff I remember
in DEC equipment.

Good advice, I went and looked at another box I had and
the switches are indeed C&K models 7101 and 7108. Looking
on ebay since they are obsolete, finding the model with
the paddle actuator will be the trick.

In general, many old switch patterns are still made.
Often, they have a manufacturer's name and part # on the
body of the switch. Some common makes from back then were
C&K and Alco.
