Fisher DPDT Replacement Slide Switch

[ncwalz]

Anybody have any recent experience replacing the slide switch in Fisher 400, 500BC, 800BC receivers?

I'm looking for a drop-in replacement, and replacing the plastic with a colour and style the matches the original. I'm looking at this but wonder if somebody has found similar ones on Mouser or DigiKey.

These might work and are in stock. Maybe a bit cheaper here.

I got you Bro. PM me a pic of what you need.

Hey ND! Not looking to replace a broken switch.

Just thinking about how to fabricate a Fisher slide switch with the correct colour and reach. I’m thinking about using a modern slide switch that fits the mounting holes, disassembling it and replacing the black plastic with a modeled and 3D printed burgundy/brown plastic.

Looks like those sold as Fender slide switch replacements might be good candidates.

Oh, misunderstood.

I recall a bit ago someone sourcing a switch that fit. I’m sure a search would bring it up. Might have even been Amplified Parts.
