The ones I have seen (on my PDP-8/L and PDP-12) are simple stock old-school slide switches (definitely not Micro-Switch switches), that typically look like this one: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/GF-1126-1110/SW105-ND/948 (I did *not* check dimensions to see if this particular one is right or not - there were standard size and miniature versions. But the photo looks about right). JRU
