I did a quick check of the ITW site and no results came up for that number. One site did have it listed tho, but no price. If I get a chance, I'll look some more. Maybe I can find one and will send with the magnets.

Well, the problem is I haven't been able to locate a distributor in the USA. I got that pic from Farnell UK based. Here is a link to the Swedish site
Produktsökning
It's about half way down the page.

Hiya,

Barry Hallet from Southern Cross Divers will be able to post you the correct switches. He is a member here on RBW (Southern Cross Divers) so PM him.

Alternatively, remove a switch and take it to a local electronics shop. They should have some in stock.

Likewise with the magnets, Barry or an electronics shop.

If you have any problems PM me and I should be able to dig some up for you from my spares box.

They don't. This is for the on/off switch on the Classic.

What were your symptoms and do you have pictures of the insides of the old switches please? Glad your unit is up and running again.
