A while back I switched out the square 3 way switch out of my 1996 MIM Telecaster for one of the Fender MIA types and it's been outstanding. When I went to remove the old one I found out it had an aluminum knob on it that had been epoxied in place and I destroyed the switch getting it apart. I'm currently looking for another square switch exactally like it for another project but I can only find those cheap Chinese clones. This one worked pretty good and I'd like to find another one just like it that says COR-TEX on the metal case, any ideas? Also, where did that metal knob come from? It sure looked like the plastic version until it came time to remove it!

Found out that Mighty Mite sells that brand under their own name. All Parts might be the same supplier but I'm not sure. Steward-McDonald didn't appear to have COR-TEC but they have all the good ones like CRL and one that's similar to the COR-TEC for twice the price called Megaswitch. I bought the Mighty Mite version and it works very well.
