The Electra Forums

I just purchased a mint 1980 Electra X-250 with actuive pickups. These are by far some of the finest 80's Japanese guitars ever built. They are very comparable to the Westbury Standard Line. The switch tip on the mini toggle switch that controls the active electronics is broke and I need a replacement. These toggle switches are not made anymore so I am at the mercy of my fellow guitarist. It's a 12 prong mini toggle switch (rare). If you have one to sell or know where one can be purchased I would gladly purchase it. All inquiries welcome. Please emial me at shane.saffold@robins.af.mil and or maconmusic1@cox.net. If you have one and are needing a certain part also contact me. I have dealt with Matsumoku guitars for 20 years and have quite a good selection of used working parts. Especially 3 / 5 way swiches & control pots & knobs. Thanks in advance for any help, Shane

a 12-lug mini toggle sounds like a 4PDT switch. You can get those from Allparts here:

look for EP_4362-000, it's about 2/3 of the way down, also EP_4370-010 towards the bottom. I like the latter as it's small and only 12.50, I used one on my X910 for a parallel/series switch.
