If not, what would be an example of an electronic switch from the '80s or '90s era?
I have a Radio Shack branded video switcher and it has some kind of an IC, that does the switching. This one switches the RF inputs, VCR, cable antenna, etc. One of the inputs was dead from a spike???
I was able to order the chip from RS. It was like $1.25 each, I bought two.
That's when RS was a real store and not a cell phone peddler. Very good support!
