Does the switch lever look like this one:

A common switch on those drills was made by Santon, so search for 'santon switch'.

The shape of the lever in the one above is called a 'chicken head knob' so that might be a useful search term. Smaller versions were used on old guitar amplifiers.

I have the same switch on mine, you could contact Meddings as they do have some 'old' spares but they're not cheap!

Only if it is changed to Meddling with a Meddings.

It would fit the style of many article headlines in the published monthly.

I had a look today.

It's not in my big box of switches. I know I have one somewhere but I can't think where else it could be. Sorry.

Robert.
