New Supplies of C64 Power Switches on eBay

It’s become increasingly challenging to find suppliers that stock the original C64 sized power switch for MB-6582 and sammichSID.

My standby had been the Retroleum shop: https://www.retroleum.co.uk/c64-misc-components-fuse-etc

But, they're not shipping at this time, due to Covid-19 impact

 

I managed to find two suppliers on eBay that seems to have good on-hand supply:

 

Suppler based in UK

B4941300-4AC3-4A6F-996B-EC9A09BA56FA.thu

 

 

Supplier based in the US

https://www.ebay.com/itm/402027981537

E3D06B4E-B898-440B-9A6A-9A5E803AA25B.thu

 

Cheers!

UPDATE: NKK Switches are also making a new part (M2022TXW41-FA) that's very close to the C64-style power switch.

Although, the front-facing PCB mounting  would need to be trimmed a bit to get a proper, flush mount on an MB-6582 or sammichSID.

Both Mouser and Digikey currently have these in stock...So, it's good to have options.
