Tocos Switches - Need to Source in the UK

[Sand Dancin Donkey Walker]

Hi Guys

Have had an accident with my Modwright Phono Stage.
The Mains and Mute Switches have had the operating levers snapped off :doh:

They are made by an American Company called Tocos
Switch Model Numbers is - 3T106D which is a SPDT switch with a Long Flattened lever.

Does anyone know a source off these in the UK, before I try and buy form out of the country

Cheers for any help received guys

This is the Guilty one

Poor dog - he does look suitably contrite!

Can you take a photo of the broken switch? Or, even better, of a new one if you have any. I'm unfamiliar with Modwright Phono Stage, so don't know if your poor pooch broke them all!

Hi Barry

A photo wouldn't be much good, I haven't removed them yet, and they are well hidden under a cct board and board mounted too.

I have found the data sheets for them, but that's as far as I have managed to go at the moment.

The switches are well goosed, they are broken off inside the body and the operating lever is spring return to Off so I can't even leave it powered ON.

Will photo the front later and post it here.

The dogs forgiven, she offered me a well chowed Rubber Bone as a piece offering, which was kindly declined.

Andy, I've tried RS Components (with whom I have an account), Farnell and Electrospeed. All without any joy!

I think your best bet would be to contact Tocos themselves to see if they can help:

E-mail: sales@tocos.com

A long shot I know but the best I can do at the moment.

(Apologies for mistaking the sex of your dog.)

I have had a reply from Dan at Modwright, and he will send me a couple for $15 + Postage. I will probably go with this option as at least I will know I am getting a correct switch.

Will let you know how I get on.

Cheers again,

Andy

P.S Faye (the switch breaking Black Lab) is currently playing the 'Bestest behaved dog in the whole world' act - It won't last for long though :lol:
