Switches for SW electric focuser ???

[Skipper Billy]

Anyone know where to get the switches for a Skywatcher electric focuser ??

One is very dodgy - only works when pressed half way down.

No numbers or references on the switches.

I would put a couple of 'press to make' switches in instead but the closeness of the potentiometer precludes that.

Buy a bigger box and fit the old internals with your new switches?

Thanks Mike - PM sent.

I've had 2 or 3 of these go wrong in the past couple of years. Seems to be a design flaw. I now use a Hitecastro focus controller which is much more robust.

Thinking of getting one of these. The Skywatcher controller seems very flimsy to me. Might even make my own with some more robust switches.

This is what my switches look like ......
