Since Erik brought it up.. I could also use a couple switches, but in my case they are for an 8800A model. (Well, it's sort-of a 'B' now as it was upgraded to the 'B' power supply, but it still has the original 'A' type D/C board). Like the 'B' it uses mostly Mom-Off-Mom mini-toggles, with panel mount bushing, and the long solder terminals that solder directly to the PCB (not the small eyelet type). But the handles are the standard mini-toggle bat handle - not the flatted paddles Erik describes. Any leads, feel free to mail me off-list. Thanks! -Bill On Sun, Sep 6, 2015 at 1:13 PM, Erik Klein < classiccmp at vintage-computer.com> wrote: the can
