Hi davidas - it's always nice to post the full cue so that people without the puzzle can also help :-)

26a Switch contains electrical current conductor (9)

Yes, 'Toscanini' - anag (switch) 'contains' + 'i' (symbol, elec. current)

12a Salesgirl - 's(mall) + r(ight) & l(eft)' (round) 'ales + GI' ("oversexed & over here")

Sorry, they were also "overpaid" ;-)
