Looks like a Cutler-Hammer part number. Isn't a Collins or military
number, though its probably a military part. C-H was owned by Airborne,
then Eaton, now maybe Tyco. Nobody that I can find admits that part
number. I didn't find it in a 1959 Radio Electronics Master catalog. I'm
guessing a 15 amp single pole single throw bat handle toggle, probably
screw lugs. Something like a Carling 2FA54-73 would fit and function.
Might have a differently shaped bat handle but if you replace all the
toggle switches the difference won't be noticeable.

Mouser (www.mouser.com) shows it as catalog 691-2FA54-73. They also show
similar switches with two poles, with spades or solder lugs on the same
page.
