Fluorescent light switch for 81D

[KennyG]

I am looking for the switch for the fluorescent light for my 81D.  I have checked with Funtronics and Sodajerkworks with no luck. I have read on previous posts that they can be found at Ace, Lowes,Home depot etc but I have not been able to find one. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks

Kenny,
You are in Phoenix right?
Go to a specialty electrical shop. I've never actually searched for the switch, but there is a place on the NW corner Scottsdale Road and Earll Drive (just north of Thomas). I'd give them a try.
Maybe someone with personal shopping experience will chime in also.

Isn't it just a push button? any hardware, big box store, electronics store would have one I would think.

I have heard from some suppliers that this type of switch was being phased out , as it 's a 4 way switch? not sure what that means but heard they are going to be hard to find... if you find them, buy up as many as you can as I think the suppliers mightbe interested in them as well..

I've seen them at Ace Hardware.

Would you be able to get me a part number or catalog number?  I have been to 3 different Ace's in the Phoenix area with no luck.  I think if I could reference a number they would be able to order one for me.

I could try to swing by there to get the part number?  Did u check with Funtronics,  or SJW?

[KennyG]

Yes, I did.  Both did not have any.

I will check.
