Info on Honeycomb Alpha Yoke

[wyodeacon 9]

Hello Folks. First, I hope this forum is ok to ask a question I would like everyone to see.  If not, Admins please move it.

Now, I have a Honeywell Alpha Flight Yoke and switch panel with a problem.  The LED switch (the one you use to calibrate it) is broken.  After waiting on Honeywell to answer me, I finally took the top off, thus destroying the warrenty, and found the switch is a cheap push button affair, and it is broken.  Does anyone on here know exactly what kind of switch it is?  It appears to be a 4 pin on/off micro-switch that returns to off, but It is so broken I can.t even read with my meter. Also, I found a small circular (about 1/8 inch) razor thin, metal looking disk in the bottom of the chassis.  I assume it fell out of the switch.

I can find plenty of micro-switches, but I don't want to get the wrong one and fry something else.  You know, all of us Electronics Techs have learned you can find the problem by finding where the smoke comes out!

Anyhow, if anyone knows for sure, please set me know.

thanks, Gary
