Default Power switch on Farnell H series PSU's?

By any miracle does anyone know if a replacement two pole, interlocked lever mains power switch is still available for the Farnell H series linear power supplies? I just bought a second H60/50 beast and although the mains switch works both toggles are snapped off (and missing...). I know from previous kind help with schematics some on here are familiar with, or owners of these ageing beasts! Thanks

I've never had to find a replacement for one of those but I reckon it will be proprietary type rather than custom made, so it may be possible to find one. Pity I scrapped an H30-100 last year, I think that has the same switch.

they're 'hydro magnetic' circuit breakers aren't they....the type you push up to switch on?

Mouser do them.

made by carlingswitch, eaton-heinemann, airpax etc

Yes, they look quite similar, thanks. I now have another issue with my original one, so I have started a new thread, cheers!
