Hello, I am an electrical contractor in Virginia Beach, recently I have been working on a old manor house that was split into two apartments. The owner wanted me to replace the old despard type stackable switches to new white ones just for looks and some that weren't working. I was able to find new single pole and 3way despard switches from the Pass Seymor factory.....(they aren't made anymore), but they had
some in stock. My problem is there is a stacked 3way, 4way, 3way in a single gang box. I replaced the 3ways, but am unable to find a white 4way despard switch (this one is broken). The other problem is that this is old wiring in conduit, so cutting in a new box would be almost impossible and as the say with old wire "let sleeping dogs lye". There are already 10 wires in this box and trying to tie a cutin box or cut the conduit for a new 3 gang box would be a mess. So I am desperate to find a white 4way despard switch, there has to be one out there
somewhere. Any clues ?????
