If I was you, I would use solid copper wire and modify the new switch to have contacts same location and size as the old one. Then solder the same spot a s a full replacement.

Thanks guys for your help. Sorry for the pic quality, the device is so small I had to zoom a lot with my phone. The switch is a tactile one, the plastic body is missing, and what you can see in the center is where the contact is made : when the swit

We have started switching all our PCB marking from labels to Laser marking. We have a silkscreen patch put on the boards then use a CO2 laser to burn the mark off to produce the barcode. Our marking downtime has gone from an average of 8 hours a we
