WTB several IMSAI-8080 ON-OFF-ON momentary switches

"Not exactly--momentary, yes, but clearly not the paddle switches used on

Right, I thought about that once I'd posted.

My 8800A (with B supplies) still has the basic mini bat-handle style
switches. Correct me on this, but the later Altair 8800B use the
paddle-style handle, same as the IMSAI?
