There are some limits to what CTCParts.com can provide.
CTCParts.com specializes in the "plates" one uses on a CTC machine. This is where Mike's product offerings excel.
In general, Mike doesn't offer much in the way of electronics things like rotary switches, pushbuttons, or lamps. One exception is a pushbutton which mimics the "feel" of a US&S pushbutton.
What are the alternatives?
For these "common" electronics components, your best bet is likely to be a general-purpose electronics supplier. In the US, some suppliers include Mouser.com, Digikey.com, All-electronics.com.
Rotary switches with 60 degree rotation (for US&S machines) or 90 degree rotation (for GRS machines) can be tough to find off-the-shelf. They do show up occasionally. And Mouser and Digikey have often "mis-cataloged" a manufacturer's parts as 30 degree when they really were 60 degree or 90 degree, so it helps to spend the time looking at manufacturer's specs for the various part numbers cataloged by the supplier.
Last time I looked, Digikey and Mouser did not have any stock for 60 degree-indexed switches, but could provide 60 degree rotary switches for orders of 2000 parts.
Tomar Inc., of Benton Harbor, MI, provides (or provided) some cast-brass inserts which can be used in some "open" styles of commercial rotary switches to convert a 30 degree-indexed rotary switch to 60 degree indexing or 90 degree indexing. Tomar also has produced US&S-like "knobs", but I think that they no longer produce the knobs.
An alternative is to purchase "Alpha" brand enclosed 30 degree-indexed rotary switches, and modify for 60 degree or 90 degree indexing. I've done this by filling in one or two consecutive "indents" in the rotary switch shell with epoxy. The trick is to open the thing without losing the spring or ball-bearings. And to put the spring and bearings back into the shell and reassemble it, without losing the parts.
I do not have any particular recommendations for lampholders/bezels/lenses or for pushbuttons.
