Help ID this panel switch part!
Can anyone please help me identify this push switch section. It is a two-part item (button and frame) for panel mount, retained by three plastic lugs, designed to actuate contacts soldered to a PCB below on a separate module.
Used on Tandberg and other kit in the 1980s there was also a version with a hole for LED indication. I need to find a name so as to be able to seek out spares! TIA.

Re: Help ID this panel switch part!
Does the bit-you-push go squarely in-and-out or does it 'hinge' slightly? If the latter, then it's rather like what we always called a "Digitast" switch.

Re: Help ID this panel switch part!
No, it doesn't hinge, it sort of clips into a panel - it's not the type you are thinking of (though thanks for mentioning the name- you learn something every day! ) DigiTast makes sense - Taste is 'button' in German.
Still after the name of the pictured part, anyone recognise it?

Definitely not a Schadow Digitast switch. I have seen this switch before but I'll be b******d if I can recall where, senile decay setting in
