I checked around and didnt find anything. I figured there would be another option besides Ebay or bothering you for a little button. I'll give you a call tho.

There have been some improvements on the switch over the years
They are 4.00 and USPS priority is 6.00
You can PayPal 10.00 to my email
Idoxlr8_70@yahoo.com and one will be in your hands in a few days
Or call with a credit card
Switches need to be soldered in.. So you must have an iron or send it in and I'll be happy to install one for the same $$

Ya, for the record. This kit is older. The button lasted nearly 10 years, so it ran its course.

Yes in a pinch. The only thing is that i've learned over the years.. there is a difference in switches. The RS piece is a very inexpensive.. and the quality is is low. Low quality switches run the risk of malfunctions..
Funny how some parts like these can create so much drama.. over the years from the tips popping off, to staying shorted, to not working at all. The type of metal used on the contacts also plays a role, the low quality ones get the burnished look on the surface. The pictures on the link show the metal like a gray color.. where they should be bright silver. The gray/dull ones solder wont stick unless scraped.. but once the leg has changed colors.. the contacts also change. The ones currently being used over the last years have been excellent.
