Looking for a lighted variable speed switch for the heater on a 37 115c

Does your heater need the 4 wire reversible switch for heat/defrost action or just a single wire variable speed?

If you just need the 1 wire switch, there is this one on ebay.

It is aftermarket but lighted and variable & looks an awfully lot like some I've seen in Packards. Obviously wouldn't work if you need the 4 wire type though. If something like this would work you could probably get a repro plastic from Yesterday's Radio and no one would know the difference.

Was Packard's switch full variable or just 2 or 3 fixed speeds?

I have a Packard variable rheostat switch that I know was used at least on 38 and 39, with light. I don't have the original Packard knob however.
