I’m trying to repair a damaged NanoVNA for a family member.

The joggle switch was broken off. Initially, I hoped it would be possible to reuse it but there the damage to the switch is worse than I initially thought .

Thanks to another amateur, I was pointed here where I found evidence they are available but no ready sources.

Can anyone recommend a source please? Ideally in the Uk but if overseas, so be it.

It seems a shame to scrap the beast for want of a switch. I appreciate it can be operated via a PC etc but the owner likes to use it hand held as he experiments with antennas etc.

Thank you in advance & 73

So cheap I bought an extra as a spare.

Many of the motherboards of the televisions made by Vestel have such a joystick. Definitely find one at TV repair shops.

Here is an overseas source for a direct replacement. Cost is less than a dollar and 2 week shipping is reasonable... FedEx or DHL if you need it real quick but costs a lot more.

Thank you.

I've EMailed a friend in the US and asked him to buy a couple and pop them in the post- I will send the money via paypal, that will reduce the shipping!

Paying DHL etc $16 seems crazy ;-)

Thank you but I fear, in the UK, finding a TV traditional repair shop will be harder than finding a switch ;-)
