 One comes packaged with every Tortoise switch machine.  I thought Circuitron had one on their web site, but I couldn't find it.  What do you need to know?

There are 8 contacts on the edge connector.  1 and 8 are the voltage input to the Tortoise.  2, 3, and 4 are one of the single-pole double-throw built-in toggles, and 5, 6, and 7 are the other toggle.

If you need it and have a fax number, I can fax you a copy of the instruction sheet.
