Folks,
I spent a good deal of time last night searching online for a source
for
a
couple BZ-2RD micro switches. No joy, aside from finding them in
the
UK.
I found BZ-2RD-A2, but they are built different enough that they won't
fit
in the allotted space, which is the joy stick of my Sag 12 Graziano.
These
switches select forward/reverse, and one has failed.

Anyone have any suggestions where to look? Google just runs me in
circles.

Thanks,

Harold

I assume you saw those on Mouser for $10 each?

No good! They're not the right number.

Thanks for the tip, though.

Whenever I can't find the exact part number through my google search, I
watch for alternate part numbers

Then I google those part numbers. That method worked for me just the other
day on some s/s hydraulic fittings. I was quoted $21 each on the primary
part number and I found them for $4.65 each with an alternate number. :-)

I sent out about 20 RFQ and got back maybe 5.
