The C&K switches in that photo _are_ identical to the 11/70 switch bodies (and mounting frame) we've been discussing, but not the plastic actuator past the pivots. > I bet they would fit on the identical CK switches we've been discussing...

Those handles would fit the newer DEC switches (not the PDP-8/L or PDP-8/i era stuff with slide switches entirely unlike C&K "red" switch bodies). -ethan
