A model of weak interactions is displayed which preserves all the observed symmetries of weak interactions in lowest order. It is mediated by three intermediate vector bosons with their respective antiparticles, and also contains a massive neutral muon-type lepton and electron-type lepton, so altogether there are two lepton triplets: e, νₑ, λₑ and μ, ν_μ, λ_μ. Higher-order corrections diverge, but for a cutoff Λ~300 BeV, i.e., GFΛ²~1, the model is shown to be compatible with present experimental limits.
