Title: Volcano microswitch?
Post by: DeLuSioNal29 on August 21, 2014, 12:09:33 pm: Anyone know where I can grab spare Atari volcano microswitches and or LEDs? My Google-Fu is lacking today (I need more coffee).

My microswitch leg is on it's way to be broken off and I need a backup.

Edit: I found this (http://na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/electrical_supplies/95-4118-60) but I'd like to buy it from a non-Happ source.

Thanks in advance!

Or, spend money I suppose.
