Joystick microswitch buyers - where to get them?

[tbtorro]

Tought I make a thread on tips where to source micro switches for fixing or refurbishing different joysticks.

I want to start by asking if anyone knows a source for this one below:

The Arcade (brown), S.T.C Rotterdam Made in Holland please note the bent metal lever (for the fire button)

Can you recycle the old lever or is it lost?
I have SUZO The Arcade and Prof.Competition joysticks with broken micro switches. Luckily the levers are ok but the plastics are broken.

Unfortunately not. I'm looking for complete and new microswitches. Some Arcade models don't even have microswitches for fire - even though the solder holes are there.

Looks like there are a number of suppliers for the XCF8 switch itself, but the -z38 lever might have been a special. If you needed just a few perhaps you could get the straight long-lever type and bend to suit. It wouldn't be too difficult to make a jig with a few dowel pins in it for bending.
