Calling All Alps Power Switch Experts

I have a Sansui AU-717 integrated which has an Alps M 088 snap switch as the power switch.

It was not working so I took it apart and found one of the little plastic "push" pieces (that mount in the springs) has broken (see pix).

Can anyone advise of where I may be able to get one of these?

Thanks.

That's not the most complicated little bit in the world; I suggest you try to fix it. You could use JB weld to glue it back together, you could try drilling tiny holes to glue it back together with a toothpick or paperclip pin for support, you could try to replace half or all of it with a small screw (maybe dunked in plasti-dip so it doesn't short anything), you could carve an equivalent piece out of scrap plastic or wood...
 
You're right. I'm thinking I may have a few bits of Delrin in my shop that may fit the bill.
