[Hammarlund] switches for SP-600

[Al Parker]

Hi guys,
    Andy, does the Carling have the short ball-handle like the orig?  I
haven't been able to find that anywhere.
    I've just used a set of NKK's, that I got from Mouser.  Does incl the
momentary one, but have long handles, no ball (bat handle?).  They do look
good, tho'.  They just fit, if you get others, do check the size behind
the panel, especially height.  Ones along the bottom can be too big.
    I'll make up a list of stock no.s.  price of a set was abt $28.  Can
see a pic at:
