glacierfl,
Are you referring to the 4 switches by the door?
I bought some off of Ebay a while ago.
They look very similar, but they don't have labels.
And they fit the wall plate cut out.

I think they were rated at 125V - 16amps.

I'll check the part numbers when I get home.

Regards,
Bill

Here's some information:

On my 1975 Glenbrook the 4 switches by the refer cabinet have a mounting hole of 0.83" X 1.45". The terminals are 0.25" (6 of them).

They are called rocker switches DPDT, ON-ON

See Digikey item:

Digikey part number
EG4784-ND Glossy finish $3.38
EG4785-ND Mate finish $4.87

They don't have labels but they are functionally the same.

Regards,
Bill

I bought new switches at a local RV supply house. They are a different form factor but I covered the old holes with a new piece of wood and made new holes. I think they look better. Total cost for 5 switches and two lights (one switch and light in bath) with mounting plates was about $40.
