TV Mains switches

[Barquentine]

I have a really old Sharp portable TV. The mains switch stopped working. I managed to remove it to replace it but does anyone know where I can find someone selling a huge range of tv mains on/off switches.

It's got GDE-S.40 on it but Google searches throw up similar but not identical components.

Someone must stock it somewhere? Thanks

Well, I'll try to answer your question with this link (which suggests likely sources):

However I feel compelled to ask the question "WHY?"
I bought a really good quality colour portable TV (Sony Trinitron) for a fiver at auction last year. Earlier this year a friend gave me another good portable TV for free, simply because he had no use for it. A charity shop in Stowmarket currently has one for sale for £2.50. The British Heart Foundation has 'Furniture & Electrical' shops, all over the country, which will sell you a good quality colour portable (with a warranty) TV for £5 or £10. It's almost certainly going to cost you more to buy the switch than it is to replace the telly. So I have to repeat my question: WHY?

I'm just having a go at fixing it. We don't need the TV - we are inundated with them! It's just an exercise. I had imagined it would be easy to find this part. If your link doesn't turn up something (and thanks for your help by the way) we will throw it away.
