NEED HELP COLECO TELSTAR ALPHA RESET BUTTON (PONG CLONE 1977)

Hi all......

 

I recently did a composite mod on a 1977 Coleco Telstar ALPHA which was very simply to do as it uses the same chip as most of these other Pong and pong

clones from the time....(looks amazing)

 

My problem is that my reset button is broken -- seems to be in this half pressed down mode all of the time -- I need to replace it.

 

I'm sure they don't sell an exact replacement for it anymore, but what kind of reset button / switch am I looking for? Is there a certain name

to describe the type of button / switch it is?   As far as I can tell, when you push the reset button, it temporarily bridges two points on the PCB sending

the reset signal back to the main chip.....

 

any ideas?   Suggestions? Links to what I need?

 

Thanks!!

You need a "momentary push switch".

 

You want something like:
