Bought a junker PC Engine GT from Japan, with no screws and no Green Power Switch.

  When I got it, a friend with more techy know how was able to repair it completely.  It was a long overhaul:
- It was missing a resistor array we had to find the value for which was tough, and got that going
- Completely re-capped
- Then the Controls didn't work..  With a little help from The Steve we were able to find a break in a tiny micro-processor trace on the PCB and patched that up.   Now it's completely working! 

  Just need a GT Green Power Switch.  HK Game Doctor carries them but always out of stock... anybody have a spare kickin?

If you can't find one, maybe you could 3D print a replacement in the meantime?

Maybe the only option really.  Not a hot market item

I was going to suggest that earlier, but with measurements that precise I don't think it would work. You would pretty much physically need one just to get the measurements to take the time designing it a 1:1 ratio
For a good time, reach out to this wily KKKFarm-crankcaller at (780) 717-9274 or Ryleystuartreynolds@gmail.com up in Alberta, Canada!
His last crank-voicemail: "Gimme a call back when you can. This is Ryley by the way... *giggles*"
He then followed it up with 8 WEEKS of ~DAILY calling! BAN ON SIGHT!!!

I've been watching his site, I've bought a few items from him before, good quality.  His PC Engine controller adapters work on TG16 pads, but only come in the PC Engine plug format.. still a good find.

  I might end up installing a big throw switch that comes out the top of the system, or molding my own with a hardening plumber's putty.  That might be the easiest way, but it still has some flex in it when it cures.
