So I picked up a Boss Delay Machine (DM-300) to day from a local pawn shop for cheap...$30! This thing sounds awesome! Does 800ms of analog delay and chrous with 2 mn3005 chips!

The only issued is that there is a 3 position slider switch that appears to be worn out. Instead of "clicking" into position, it slides freely. The switch pads the input signal on the unit. It appears to be an ALPS switch with a "203Y" designation, but I have had no luck finding the switch on the internet. By looking at the photos below, can anyone advise me what kind of switch I would need, be it dpdt, sp3t? Any help would be greatly appreciated!







Thanks,

2P3T. The poles are tied together on yours by the gray wire. Looks like yours is wired on-on-off. Maybe someone will know where to get a replacement.

The clicking is from a little spring holding ball bearings against the walls. You may be able to fix that sucker by sacrificing a similar switch. Be careful, the little spring has a tendancy to flick the ball bearings across the room while you are trying to reassemble the switch.
