    Default need a new key switch

    I lost the keys for my PJ. I've found plenty of replacements but nothing quite like what I need. The mounting hole is 3/4". The mounting depth needs to be kept around 1" or less. Anouther 1/8 to 1/4" might work. Too much more and it will hit the guts inside.

    Anybody have a source for one?

    Post a pic, then maybe we can help find a surrogate?

    - Body, looks to be ~1", once you minus-out the 'cap thickness', and, if you carefully 'fold-back' the solder-tabs / solder right-angle-styliee (w/ heat-shrink, etc..) IF yer 'mounting hole' is, indeed, too-big, that's what bigass fender-washers / black-paint are for.. That might even help gain you a bit more space in the back..

    ..Not sure if this one ^ has the 'key, latched-when-on' you'll want for a pj, but.. You can ask the seller, etc.. FYI, the 'correct' C&K Model for PJs, are found in the Y-series, Y1011C, or 2011C are the ideals.. (see PDF, below..

    Hope this helps, ciao..

    Here's a picture. It isn't broken. I popped the end off to rotate the inside so it would work.Click image for larger version.
