[Boatanchors] DPDT Lever switch wanted

[LEE BAHR]

I'm looking for two of these too.  I purchased a RCA broadcast transmitter 
missing them.  Please respond to John King if you can fill his needs only. 
Secondly consider my request if you know of a larger source or have more 
then John needs or just have helpful info.  The ones I need should not be 
spring return.  (Good to know you can take out the spring).

The way the RCA works, the two switches control two DPDT relays.  Depending 
how you set the two lever switches determines which of three crystals is in 
the circuit.  The original switches had about an inch and a half black round 
plastic handle (bat handle).  There is lots of space for the switches to be 
mounted.  I looked in the Mouser, Allied, and Digi-Key catalogs with no 
luck.  Maybe I missed them there.  The RCA manual depicts the switches in a 
wierd way.  I can't tell for sure what is closed and what is open looking at 
the diagram.  I think it shows two switch poles closed when the handle is 
down and another switch pole closed when the handle is up.

Any help with the switches or information would greatly be appreciated
