Default Identification of Paxolin Rotary Switch Assembly?

Hi

Does anybody recognise this type of miniature rotary wafer switch and can give me a clue as to it's make and type please?

It's used in the Cossor CDU130 Battery Oscilloscope to change over between battery, mains and charging – the example pictured was one I bought off eBay as a spare replacement for the original, (but with an extra position, so will need modifying with an extra stop), in which a fixing screw sheared off in it, rendering it unfit for reuse, as it's fixed to the front panel by two tiny 8BA screws rather than by a threaded bush!

If anybody has one of these in 4W type going spare, please PM me as I can reassemble the original Cossor Switch Wafers on the index plate to make a serviceable rebuilt replacement switch assembly!

Hi Chris, it's a total guess but maybe 'Alps', I've seen similar in far east products.

Blore Edwards supply similar construction switches to this day. I very much doubt that they'll have an exact equivalent, but you could always drop them an email and see:
