Hi, a friend of mine is looking to renovate an old unit which originally was fitted with MK metal clad light switches, the sort with a black (Bakelite?) toggle. I don't suppose any one is doing a renovation and removing any of these are they/ Or got some NoS around?
Sounds like the old-style grid switches. Did a quick search on eBay - not much there, and I could only see them in white (which was much more common).

I shall quiz him further Dave, they are actually for an old BBC OB truck.
Ebay has been looked at for a while Andrew, problem there is filtering out all the newer MK switches, but so far none have turned up.

Not at the moment, I will ask my friend if he has, if so I'll copy it to you, thanks.

If any one is interested I've put a photo of a similar 13A socket on photobucket. We are after some sockets as well as the light switches. Apparently it is possible that the switches had some form of guard either side of the switch to prevent accidental operation.
The ones I referred to are actually GEC, made in England.
Unlike MK grids with slidey clips these ones just spring into the grid. I have also uploaded a couple of old style MK grid switches to the wiki at
