Phil if you have a MAT catalog look on page 39. You will find an assortment of tact switches. I keep several of these since prison convicts tear out the buttons and switches.

For reference: one mounts flat, the other mounts upright. The #207842 type is the *flat-mount* type used on the CTC169 front button panel assys, and others. The #215500 type is the *upright* mounted type I needed in a F2520WT / CTC185AA. Since we all use both of these for many models, it's nice to keep a few dozen of both in stock. (by the way, the 207542 tactiles seem to be on back order everywhere now. sources?) Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
