Subject: Rio Karma replacement of little Hold micro-switch....
Anybody knows where to get that Rio Karma's tiny Hold micro-switch that breaks easily?

I broke mine despite all the attention and would like to have it replaced.
These buggers are almost impossible not to damage!

You aren't going to find a replacement HOLD switch.

why not?
aren't these generic electronic switches? I doubt they are proprietary (are they??)
I'm sure if we can get a part number or type number we can get it from *somewhere*.

I've got a bad board that the slider switch looks to be one of the few good parts. If you've got the soldering skills and want me to send it, P.M. me. You can have it for the price of shipping.
Looks to me like there's 3 contact points.

I doubt they are proprietary but I doubt you can find one off the shelf at a Radio Shack. Or anywhere else.
And you probably wind up breaking it when you close the Karma anyway. lol
