Gack! Need 20 pole 3 throw 20amp 120vac switch

The title says it all. I'm posting it here because I know a lot of
people here have expertise beyond Stamps.

This unit is manually operated and has a three position knob that
switches 20 poles. The original units are wearing out after 30+ years.
They were made in Austria (no mfgr that I can see). There are three
units per switch, the central and knob driven section has 6 poles and
the outer 7 pole sections are gear driven fron the central unit.

The units are listed at at 20 amp. The wires going to and from are
8-10 gauge or so.

Please reply via email to keep this nonstamp traffic from the group.

Thanks for any help or clues where to look!

Cheers

    Is this just a rotary switch used in motor control if so these companies
    should have replacements some may have a standard switch which accepts
    packs and you may add packs as necessary

    Square D
    Omron
    Idec
    Cutler Hammer

    and many many more

    You may also want to try ASCO(Automatic Switch Co.). They have all
    types of switches ranging from 20 amps to Thousands of amps with
    different pole/throw and voltage rating combinations. They do have
    different company divisions which include products like ATS's
    (Automatic Transfer Switch), lighting contactors and pneumatic
    solenoids. I recall some time back seeing a lighting they made that
    might be what your looking for.
