Eq5 standard hand controller or micro switch

[VPAstro]

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has a standard eq5 RA/Dec dual axis hand controller they no longer need. It does not need to work. My father in law has a damage micro switch and so either needs to replace the switch, or the hand controller. Hope someone can help or perhaps knows the spec of the micro switch.
Thanks,
Andrew...

Andrew,

WES Components in Sydney has a selection of tactile switches that might suit. Look at this link https://www.wes.com.au/mediapub/ebook/wescat2014np/#1190 - this is page 10-76 and 10-77 - measure the existing switch and you might be able to find a suitable replacement. They also do mail order. I buy bits and pieces from them.
