Bother. Broke my Yamaha THR10.

Well, the power switch to be exact. Had the amp in my backpack and it took a knock, snapping the toggle off. At least it's snapped off in the 'on' position so I can still use it.
Any idea what the correct replacement toggle switch would be? There's so many online I have no idea what one to get. Saw somewhere that the one in the amp is a Fujisoku 8a1012, a 1-pole On-On standard toggle with PC Straight terminals, rated for 6A at 125V.

It looks like a typical PCB mount SPDT switch.

While looking for a pic I found this, which should help!

Cheers @ICBM that's a similar thread to the one I found

I’m guessing it’s a common problem - it’s very likely to get broken because the switch is too flimsy, badly sited and sticks up too far.

It might be possible to find a lower-profile one which will fit the same PCB layout.

I do find it really odd that they used a tall skinny switch and not one of the shorter chunkier ones that look and feel better, and are presumably much harder to break. I guess it would've added another £5 to the price and they didn't want to
