Avid Lyfe Able Keyswitch

[Chronical]

I was at work and my button came apart at work and I asked one of my co workers to screw it back together and they stripped out my contact and keyswitch, I can get brass and stainless key switch but the issue is I have a full copper mod and I can not seem to find a copper keyswitch anywhere in the world online for sale that is in stock, so please help me, I’ll pay, authentic or not I just need a solid copper version that will work.

It’s so hard to find one I’ve been looking for months

Is see what you mean. Not available anywhere on the net. have you tried to re-tap the threads. Well depends on how stripped they are.

Bro if you can't find it. Why not get the brass or stainless.(I'd do brass for any future issues) and have it plated in copper. Brass is also easier to plate.
Good luck bro!

What kind of place or shop can plate copper that sounds like a good idea

I work at a tire and mechanic shop and tried but no luck

Can you post a pic of the cap upside down. So we can see the threads?

Or try the diy method.

Hi, is this what it looks like from the bottom/inside?

Bro look up heli coil. I'm pretty sure you can use your keyswitch with a helicoil fitted till you can get a replacement.

2nd option is have the stud built up with silver solder or something and have it re-threaded at a machine shop.

 

[Resistance]

3rd option is use stainless or brass with the copper cap

Option 4 is machine shop could cut it down and solder a new pin to keyswitch.
