CB 77 switch on headlight

My in progress resto has stalled because I'm missing a switch on the headlight. None seem to be available so I'm looking for a substitute. The wiring diagram is less than clear (to me anyway) as to the various functions of the 4 ? position switch, can anyone tell me what the various functions are? It would help me in tracking down a substitute that will work. Thanks

Maia, it switches the headlight on, and also gives the charging system a boost by adding one more charging coil to battery. Sorry, not explained really well. I have a few of these switches, and they come up often on Ebay. Can you tell which color wires, and how many, were origionally running to switch? There should be yellow, pink, green, black, and some have a brown wire as well. it may be only the CLs that have the brown wire.
