 Those 440C are always missing the levers, they seem to break off easily. 

 

Yes, in fact, I need one for my 440C.

Well, I did get it to work.  I used (2) 222 swiches that mount on the 439.  I was able to wire it up that way and get it to work.  Only for a little bit, until I can get my hands on a 440C.  The correct control board for my 440 signal bridge.  Thanks for the help though.  Those 440C are always missing the levers, they seem to break off easily.

While the 439 control panel does look similar to the control panel for a 440 signal bridge, it is not desiged to be used with the 440.
A 440 signal bridge uses a 440C control panel.
A 439 control panel has six knife switches across the back.
A 440C control panel has two special switches centered on the back  to control the lights on the signal bridge, with two knife switches on each side (total four knife switches)

Hello, I have a 440N and 439 Control board panel.  How do you wire these up to work together??  I do not have a manual for these.  I have them wired up, but the lights on the 440N does not stay on all the time.  Only on when I activate the 222 switches that are on the 439.  Any ideas let me know. Thanks.
