I need those too - some of my Altair switches have the handles
physically broken... in fact pretty much ALL the large switches (the
bottom row for run/deposit/exam/reset etc.) are ropey in one way or
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.

Thanks
