Re: [PLUG] OT: need SPST-NC lever switch

They have hundreds of lever switches alone. Much more than what is displayed

in the online catalog. Maybe if you call them and

send a picture of the old unit with a ruler in the image they can find a similar one.

I was thinking the same thing. If its not at the big box stores, call around to more contractor-oriented supply stores.

Never been there, but I would add Staleys in conshohocken to the list.
