Does anyone have one of the push-button light switches that turns the compartment light off/on in an electric Pathé Actuelle? They function very much like a full-size push-button switch made for building lighting, but are necessarily smaller. Trim plate needed, as well. Thanks!

Hi John,
I am sorry I will not be able to help you. I am also looking for a small size push button switch for my Radiola VII. Someone long ago replaced it with a toggle switch. Do you have a picture of the switch? The Radiola dates to 1923. I have not seen small two button switches. I have seen single button switches.

Looks like the same switch although the spacing may be different. Do you think that there were that many variations made? I've seen a similar switch with a Diamond name and symbol. The Radiola dates to 1923 and was made by Wireless Specialty in Boston Mass. Maybe we can find two? BTW, I thought I was send a PM. I have to pay more attention to what I am doing.

They look close if not identical. I will certainly let you know if I find more than one!
