I have a nice little Monitor Controller by SMPRO. M Patch 2. Very affordsble. Construction is decent, the pots are great, but the quality of the switches is very bad. I have replaced two but the company is gone.
I can see no name on them. Also cannot get a schematic to identify type.
I have bypassed the Mute switch, and the arrangement suggests it is 8 Pole Two Way. Which makes sense with a two input stereo balanced passive signal path, I think! I would appreciate if anyone can confirm the type here and recommend a decent quality replacement sourced in the EU. I am in Ireland.
Thanks, DD

Well, without knowing the exact configuration it's hard to say any more than that things like them are still made. I guess you'l have to take one off and check all the connections.
First three manufacturers on a quick search are, CIT Relay and Switch, E-Switch , and C&K , in that order below.
Double Throw Push Button Switch | 10PDT Switch

I found smaller versions (6PDT) on a surplus site in the US for 1$ a piece. Not good for you but at least it shows they're out there.
Good Luck
I hope this helps some.
