I'm looking for a Switchcraft toggle switch # 12015 it's the 3 way on that has 9 leaf contacts on the back. I can't seem to find a supplier, especially one that will sell me a few pieces, Thanks for any help. Rob

Is this for a 3-pickup arrangement?

yes, it is. This particular L-shape Switchcraft toggle switch is 3 way on/on/on and has 9 leaf contacts on the back.

Allparts maybe.

KNucklehead, I called my source for Gibson parts....Classic Axe in Nashville. He said he built those up from the normal switches. I suppose you can get two 3-way toggles, break them down and build up one of those yourself. You would probably have to get longer bolts for the greater width of the package. All Parts does not sell that one, AFAIK.

Thanks Wally, that's the route I might have to go if I can locate one thru the regular suppliers.

I looked at a couple of Switchcraft L shaped toggle switches in my parts drawer and it looks like the leaves are all secured with a couple of screws and nuts. It should be easy to find some longer brass screws and nuts at the hardware store. I'll have to take a look at the reference drawing of the #12015 and see if I can figure out the correct number of leaves and insulators to add.
I appreciate the suggestion, it might be the solution for me, as I can't find any sources that have the switch readily available without having to order a small amount and wonder if they'll ever deliver.

Thanks! Wally

Wally...I've got a few surplus Switchcraft toggle switches on the way that have 8 leaves, their confiig is on/off/on. These switches have the longer bolts.

I don't know what the part number is, but I'm going to see if I can built the switch I need using a regular L shaped 3 way, and add some of the multiple leaves on it from the surplus switches.

Thanks for the help and I'll post my findings.
