Walt - Is this what you're looking for?  

K275-E002Micro Switch for K275 and K375 Switch$2.00Order

I stumbled across these looking for the lamp housings for my K-line switches.  BTW, if you've got 36, it would appear you've cornered the market. I haven't counted but I have at least 12 K-line O27 switches on my layout that's about 10% from being ready to operate.

That looks very similar.  the K-Line's "action bar", or whatever it's called, is plastic not metal.  The issue that it seems that I have on each one is the the "action bar" doesn't make close-enough contact with the body.  The body has a small node near where the "action bar" hinges to the body so I fix it by wrapping one or 2 thin strips of masking tape around the "action bar" near the node and that seems to have fixed all 6 that quit working.

My 36 unfortunately only consists of 11 of the 42" variety, which since I sold off my MTH collection of cars and engines, my new tin-plate trains can't handle the remaining 27" switches.  I still have my PW 2343 and cars so I do get some value out of still having them.

I will see if I can post a picture.  My point and shoot does very poorly on closeups though but I'll try.

thanks guys - walt
