Do all Hamer Newports use Rickenbacker

pickup selector switches?

You mean because they have the long switch tip that is otherwise a pain to find?  I don't think that Rickenbacker has much to do with it, other than they might use the same 'long' version of the Switchcraft switch/switchtip.  BCR Greg used to have a stash of the long switch tips for sale a few years back, but those are probably long gone.

If you are looking for the long switch tip it is here.  I recently bought one to make a Hamer look original.

I've had my Newport apart and it uses the standard right angle switchcraft switch, but its impossible to find one with the long switch tip.

That Rickenbacker site has the right angle switch with the long switch tip also.

I got a few from pick of the ricks, as I needed one for my newport, and the switch on my studio may be breaking due to wear on the actual pivot.
