I have a veerry irritating problem with my Amiga Mouse.  The left
button is intermittent.  Simple problem...should be a simple fix, 
right?  It seems that Commodore does not sell any parts for the mouse,
even to their dealers.  This means that the only way to get a new left
mouse button is to exchange the mouse...a mere $60.00 here in Canada.
Seems a little steep for a $.50 micro switch.

The problem is, that without some kind of information on the switch
itself, (i.e. manufacturer, part #, etc.) I am not having any luck finding
a replacement.

I seem to recall someone mentioning that there was an article in Amazing
Computing documenting this exact problem with a part # and source for a
replacement switch.  Has anyone seen it??  Can anyone else out there 
shed some light?  How about any manufacturing folks from CBM??

Thanks,

Stu Schmidt
