Boss DS-1 repair and upgrade + pics but without switch - where to find one?

[zjokka]

hi all,

At 22EUR is really couldn't leave this poor battered stompbox lying in the window. Looked and found heaps of mod info here, so didn't hesistate to buy.

Still, haven't found ressources for replacement  switches. Does anybody have any suggestions?

What about moving the circuits to a new enclosure (like a 1590BB), using a "real" switch, maybe convert to true bypass (bypass the FET switching)?

That's a silly idea; Small Bear Electronics has replacement Boss switches in stock.

thanks, I almost ordered from Ebay at $5/pcs 
Should make a list of all specialized item that I cannot find anywhere else like that elusive 2k reverse taper fuzz pot. Thanks still for the hint.

Don't know, is there no way to true bypass a Boss pedal without rehousing it?
