SP-10 parts substitution


My Panasonic SP-10 (essentially, the Mark I, though it wasn't called that) has had its on/off switch die, so I now use a remote switch to turn it on & off ... but I'd like to use the switch Matsushita gave it.  Their part number is AM78909 (supplied by a search of their website), but it is unobtanium.

A wee bit of dismantlement reveals that the actual switch is a smallish device, what I'd call a "microswitch".  I expect that anyone who has seen it, and knows even a little more about electronic stuff than I do, knows exactly what Radio Shack has on its shelves that'll fit and do the job.

So this is a shout-out to any SP-10 owners who have that knowledge:  clue me in, please.

 If you mean start-stop silver button it looks exactly the same as SL1210 which is easy to find in parts, so no problem to buy this button. However, i'm not sure they are compatible as i never tried. Got my SP10mk2 with original button that need some fine tuning, it is not always works properly. Also got pair of SL1210mk2 and as i can that button really looks the same.
