I have been looking for switches too.  I have 3 CJ3B heaters and attempting to make one good one.  I need to test my switches, but looking online this one may work.  I am considering purchasing it to see as it would be nice to have a new one.  I took one of mine apart and it is fairly simple.

My fan switch was OK and the shaft was threaded 10-32, so I ordered a couple of Black Bakelite Mercury style knobs that were threaded 10-32 from LDS Interprises and had them engraved at a local computer engraving company. They also did the vinyl control graphics.  My heater water control valve cable was missing, so I found a choke cable on e-bay that was also threaded 10-32 .

I can probably get my engraving shop to do another set of knobs and the graphics if you want.

I can imagine the knobs were a challenge.  Looks real good!

I finally put the finishing parts on my fresh air heater. I found the original style knobs and had them engraved as per the originals. I also found a photo of a NOS heater and realized that the instruction decal I had made years ago was wrong, so I had a new, correct one made and installed. I now can call this project done!
