The Motorola switches I've seen all seem to be OEM branded Linemaster Clipper series switches, look to be either dual 632-S (SPDT), or 635-S (DPDT) models. So no need to look for anything Motorola specific to get that level of ruggedness. And they are rugged, I think you could even drive your car over them if you are so inclined. The Linemaster Clipper type switches also come in a wide treadle versions. And pretty much any of them can be found easily on that big auction site. I have picked some up over the years and never paid more than about $20 for any one of them, usually brand new, new condition. For my use I just screwed the various Clipper 63x foot switches I have down to a 16x48 inch wood platform under the radio bench, so they don't move no matter what. The clipper series are also quite repairable, as the internal switch is just a generic microswitch which are readily available from many sources.

You can find single and dual units at flea markets and sometimes on ebay. I have 3 dual units. They are really rugged.
