Headphone switch

[Daveand Barbie]

This past weekend, on the Central Kentucky ride, the switch that controls the speaker/headphones got a bit strange acting then quit working altogether. When I got home, I took it apart and found one of the legs on the switch had broken off, and because of its size, will be mostly impossible to repair.

 

I wonder if anyone has a spare that they would sell. Either the switch button or the black plastic enclosure that the switch fits in to. I would appreciate any thoughts on a technique to repair it as well.

Take the unit apart. If this switch is the same as the switches in the radio head then they are a fairly common type that can be found at most any full line supplier like digikey, Newark or maybe even radioshack. I replaced a few in my radio and it was easy.

Thanks for the reply. The push button would appear to be something unique to Mitsu in that the pin that contacts the switch, which is on the PC board, is split with an arrow point on the end to keep it in the plastic surround. One of the legs of that split pin is what is broken so it will no longer lock in the surround.

I would try Pinwall and see if they have a used part for ya http://stores.ebay.com/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc/Yamaha-Venture-1983-1993-/_i.html?_fsub=4&_sid=12458664&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

I have looked everywhere and everyone seems to want to sell the whole amplifier. If I could find just the plastic surround with good push buttons in it, all would be right in the world again.
