I haven’t been able to find any of these from my typical sources, anyone have suggestions on alternate parts??

Have you searched on PinballLife under 'switch', quite a few that look similar and you might be able to reuse your old actuator wire.

If I recall, the arms are mounted on the "wrong" side of the body, so a regular playfield switch won't work.

However, coinmech switches have the arms on the same side.

Steal one off your coinmech?

I thought about using a coin switch, but the actuator wire is really what I’m trying to replace and new coin switches have wire that is too thick. Good idea to steal from existing coin switches, they have similar thin actuator, but my goal is to find drop in replacements of the original switch (body and actuator size).

Most micro switches of that era are the same. You may have to bend or reuse your original wireform.

I have several questions:
1. Is the game centaur? If not what is it?
2. Are the switches dead?
3. Are you looking for the switch and wire so you can bend it to fix wire actuator that is either broken or can no longer be bent?

Fathom

possibly make your own microswitch wireforms from paperclips?

those 2 in the 2nd pic aren't correct for Fathom, as i'm guessing you already know?
