Help identifying dimmers

Does anyone recognize these dimmers ? Trying to track down some replacements. I believe that they are MK from around the year 2000.

Any help gratefully received.

I don't recognise those at all almost certainly not MK. You might have to look on the back of them.

Look like some sort of Euro module

Very unusual design. Agree that you may have to look at the reverse, having safely isolated the circuit first of course.

If they are just dimmer modules mounted on a plate, I might be inclined to replace them with a couple of Varilight vPro dimmers. You can buy just the dimmer modules for just such a task. Unless they are hugely customised and rely on non-standard control shaft diameters, you should just be able to swap the knobs over to the vPro modules without too much of a headache.

This approach saves any headache of finding a modern equivalent of the design.

Looks like they are definitely MK. Some of them have been replaced through the house, and I would like to get everything looking the same. So I either find some original replacements, or I need to find a modern replacement that is two dimmers per double box.

Never seen an MK grid like that. Does the grid or the switches have part numbers on them.

They are some sort of Euro module that fits an MK yolk plate

Have you seen an MK grid like that it looks die cast when they are normally pressed steel.

No I haven't. Not in any of the MK catalogues I have either. Perhaps the OP could contact MK to see if they have any information on what the range is.
