I've got a 1953 Fender Champ and need a switch for it. This is the kind that turns it on and is the volume for it too. If you are familiar with these old amps it sits on the top and is the only switch on it. There is no tone control. I also need an 8" speaker for it but not the old Jenson or one like it. I need something a little hotter to play lap steel through it with. Any help is appreciated and no it's not for sale.

mojotone sells those switches:

also, this is the best 8" speaker available in my opinion:

Tim, isn't this more like we're looking for?

I think this is the turn switch instead of the push-pull.
