Selling my sears light six with broken reset switch (but works)

Since the reset switch broke and they are too expensive in my opinion to at 10 dollars on ebay. And no where else am I seeing them. Plus my jr is good enough.

 

So selling this.

Imo the $10 to fix it is worth it.

if you want a reset switch I can send you one for 6 dollars (3 for the switch 3 for shipping)

I wish I could find a broken switch. All I need is the pole part. But 6 is not bad. I will think about it.

 

What is it called. What do I google for. Is there a part number. Or is it just Atari spring switch.

dude you are not going to believe it, I found a spare reset switch stalk/pole/whatever, the bottom half was mangled and I seperated thinking I could use it latter, if you want it all you have to do is cover shipping (like 3 dollars or so)

Took some pictures. Not so good. Masschamber sold me a used stalk for 3 bucks. Came today in the mail. Not so good. I took some photos above link. My original stalk was closed on both sides. As you can see in the last 4 photos the masschamber stalk is open on one side so room for the spring to escape. So far not coming out. But a little slip of the spring after re assembling the switch before putting the whole atatri back together. But not totally slipping out. I tried some electrical tape to hold it in place but it just comes loose. After putting it all back together it looks great. But I am scared the spring might fall out. And it does not work. It powers on. But pulling the reset switch down makes it go down. But I have to manually pull it back up to start space invaders. It does not spring back up automatically.

Had another idea. Don't use game select much. So I swapped game select and reset. Now it works and I can play space invaders.
