I have a couple of old Sunn foot switches, but don't know exactly what amp they are for.  I will try to post pics of them this weekend and if you think one of them is the right one for you we can work something out.  I'm at work right now so I don't have access to them. 

If someone else has what they know to be the correct footswitch and could post a pic of it, that would be helpful too.

This is a BB footswitch. You can make one for about half the selling price that they go or on ebay............

Got any tips on making one yourself? I.e circuits etc?

I picked up a beta lead combo for nothing a couple of moths ago, and have just got it repaired - it has an amazing sound, but I'd like a footswitch as well...

Thanks,

Andy

The schematic or the footswitch is on this site - the connectors are avalable from Allied (they are made by TYCO). Not sure about sources in the UK for connectors - RS possibly. Here are the Allied part #'s

Free hanging plug 512-1100 206060-1
sockets for above 512-0618 66105-3 (24-20)
Cable clamp 512-8609 206062-3

You need to find a suitable enclosure as well.
