Does anyone know where I can get replacements for the following switches? My WESCO distributor comes up blank, even looking for GE or other competitor's products; he 's been in the business 32 years and hasn't seen these. The originals may date from 1963:

1. a 24v 3 way Despard rocker wall switch - controls a relay connected to an outside 120 v light

2. A Delay switch for porch light - when you turn off the switch, the light turns off about 20 seconds later. WESCO says the only thing they have is a delaying dimmer switch. The old switch says "EDCO"; My distributor says it must have been made as a specialty switch for some company.

Thanks if you can point me to someone who makes these. Otherwise I may have to try my local demolition company!

or this little site with some rocker switches -

Other than that I'm not going to be of much help. :(
