Might be worth a phone call to Doug@Knights.

Outside of the UK, you could try here. They cannot accept orders from outside of the US or Canada via their website, but you can contact them for a separate price.

Radio Media Systems used to supply lots of Galaxy parts but it's somewhat limited these days.

If you know the size, maybe you could buy from Aliexpress.

Picked up a joblot of bits off eBay with a couple of these boards for a project but none have the original switches. {bnghd}

I have some here. I can try and measure them tomorrow. Buying stuff like this from the States would be a last resort for me. The costs would be astronomical. I'd rather buy a scrap radio and salvage them

That would be great... Thanks! :thumbup:

Been trying to get a complete radio in any condition for ages... don't see that many, not available through UK eBay at least... and when they do appear they sell for stupid money! {bnghd}
