BK1103A Switch Help

I recently bought a second hand function generator and after checking it out it all appears to work well except for some of the switches. I was therefore hoping someone may be able to help me identify the make and model of the used switches. If I can replace them then I will have a perfectly good function generator, well minus the calibration (1993...)

Thanks

Kas

    Hi Kas,

    The pictures do not show up here either. I have had this happen a couple times when I just pasted the pictures into my post. Make certain to use the picture insertion icon.
