Where to get a 3 way switch?

[BloodRose]

My 87 Kramer Pacer's 3 way switch is going bad and I need to replace it. however, I cant find one like it in any stores round here. Its a black blade type toggle. Id like to find something that looks like the stock part. Ideas??

Is it a 3-way toggle or a blade switch?

Mini Toggle?

What you're looking for is called an on-on-on mini toggle, I believe.

I had one like that in a Focus 2000, but though it was super flimsy and had sharp corners so I took a drill and put a proper toggle switch in.

That's what I thought he was looking for but wasn't 100% because some Pacers had a blade switch, Fender style.

Pacer Custom II's were HSS and had a fender style blade 5-way.

By "flat," do you mean that the toggle lever looks like this:

...or do you mean a Tele-style "blade" switch?

hey all! thanks for all the input! Yes, my switch is a toggle like the one pictured above (only black) and not a strat style. I'll check those sites to see if they have one

is this right? says on/on/on switch. would that be right for a pup selector? I think so, right? neck on. both on. bridge on?

ya, that'd work, but make sure you solder to the right lugs.

Those switches can be kinda funny.

I get my mini toggles from either here. they do have gold i think you just have to ask http://luthierssupplies.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=141_63_306_745&products_id=1401

Or i just go to jaycar electronics and get them there.
