My house, built in 1960, has several wall switches actuated by

Any idea how I can fix it?

And who sells replacements? (Home Depot does not)

Are they white rocker switches that run relays on 24vac (the GE RR7
system) If you have the old style switch they usually are just binding
on the cover. The newer ones are a tad smaller.

I don't believe these are for relays--I have replaced a few others in
the house with X10 switches, and they were just conventional switches
except for having a rectangular button instead of a toggle. I prefer
not to use x10 in this application, though. And the switch still
binds even with the cover removed, so that's not the problem.
