DOD stompbox part question...




I recently picked up an older DOD FX25 envelope filter. It was filthy but
works after some cleaning with the excpetion the foot switch contact is
worn out. As it is now it's always on so at least i can use it for stuiod
stuff but I'd like to fix the contact.

I toook it apart and I assume most of the DOD series work the same
way. There is the black plastic stomp piece on the outside and this pushes
against a small contact which is on a PCB flush against the center of the
black plastic. I've determined the contact is the issue as after cleaning
everything I was able to get it to be intermittent if I pressed on it with
my hands but even then it was erratic and only worked once every few dozen
presses.

Does anyone know what the part# for the contact is? Better yet is there a
different name for this or a description that might work if I were to call
DOD and ask for the part? 

I put a pic of it up here:

It's a bit blurry but I took the front and back . the part is the black
disk on the left side, the pcb back of that small board is on the right.

another shot of just the part with the pedal casing is at:

Any help greatly appreciated. I have quite a few filters and autowahs but
this one is very unigue and sounds great IMO. There is the newer FX25B out
now (well it has been out for a long time but it's newer that the model I
have. Can anyone comment or compare the blue 25b to the sound of the
original dark green 25?

Thanks for any/all help!!
