Hi all,

Does anyone know of a source for a replacement switch like this:

It's from a Yamaha SG3000S tone pot and is used for coil-tapping. I have a complete replacement pot/switch that I scored from Martyn Booth but I thought I'd try and find a replacement switch so I've got a spare.

Any suggestions?

Rapid Electronics do some push switches in a similar format which should fit onto that particular mounting bracket. The ones I looked at quickly were longer than what you’ve shown, but you should be able to cut them down with a junior hacksaw.

Failing that, take a few old TVs apart - you can often find that type of switch in there.

Good luck.
