Replacement pickup toggle switch for Hamer Artist Custom? (UK based)

[bisonkills]

Hey folks. After many years of use, the toggle switch in this guitar is getting a bit unreliable. Have done the usual bending back of the metal blades, which solves this temporarily, but it always goes funny again. 

Can anyone recommend a like for like replacement part? Switchcraft maybe? This looks about right, but is maybe shorter? Any advice welcome!

Have you tried spraying deoxit and cleaning the contacts with piece of paper between the contacts?... I would do that before replacing

I just fixed one on a PRS in my shop five minutes ago using Murkat's shared trick ... a sliver of 1000 grit wet/dry pinched between the contact blades and gently pulled through to clean the contact point. Flip the paper over, do it again to clean the other blade/leaf. Then do it on the toggle's other side's blades. Takes 20 seconds on a right angle toggle like the one pictured above. You don't even have to remove the toggle to do it.

I'll give this a try. But the switch is over 15 years old, and I think it may be due a replacement. Any advice on the correct part would be useful.

Switchcraft right angle toggle.

Cheers man! Looks like the part I linked to is correct then.

FWIW, it's a Switchcraft  3-way for a Rickenbacker - longer threaded shaft, longer knob, such as the one here. Same style as used in my Studio.

Consider @Dave Scepter's advice. My '93 Studio's switch was noisy; a squirt of Deoxit on each contact pair, and drawing a strip of bond paper through the closed contacts, fixed it.
