Where to find a boss stompswitch?

I've got an ancient Boss chorus pedal from the early 80's that could use a new power switch. Who knows where I can find??

Power Switch????? Whadda got a CE-1 (a vintage treasure to be sure), just put a rocker switch in it of the same type, any electronics place should have one ... '80's isn't exactly ancient ... if your speakingf of the compact pedal line, and you are speaking of the effects bypass switch, any momentary switch that will fit in there will work, cruise thru the electronic supplier's on-line catalogues for the dimensions and what not. Look in Newark, Digikey, MCM Electronics, Hosfelt, Mouser, etc. Heck even Radio Shack.

WHOA!!!!!!
Boss has a lot of their pieces custom made for a specific fit,see if Stratdeluxer or Artie have any of these.Otherwise you can order one from Roland-overpriced but it'll be exact.
No dis to Kent,just bad personal experience with that same proplem.

Sorry buddy...The last Boss switch I had is now inside of Butnut's TS9 that had a bad switch..Switches are tough to come by and the Boss switch normally holds up over the long road.

That's when the drill comes out ... You'll never see it under there... I do believe though that Newark or one of the other big electrical componenet suppliers had some momentary switches that look just like the BOSS ones (referring to the effect bypass switches), you'll just have to look through the online catalogues, but man I swear there is one that appears to be the same size, shape, and type. Newark and Digikey come to mind.
