You will see them on older examples of radio and or electrical fittings. Generally of UK origin. I have seen many variants of these toggle switches over the years.

The original examples I have , scrounged from cab 12 wrecks , are of dubious quality . From many perspectives, in plain terms, THEY ARE CRAP ...

I found some NOS examples , made in the UK , at a swap meet. They are pictured here with the tag . Also , one is still inside the plastic cover,, from the 1950's I think.

Default Switches

These are the switches that were in my gun tractor when I got it. I have done a search for Alpha and come up blank.
Does anyone know them and what happened to them after the war?

Smile switches

To find switches of simlar or the same style do a search in google or in Ebay with " ball handle toggle switch" and you will find pretty close to what you are looking for. I was keeping this as my little secret but my monies are being directed towards home reno's at the moment.
