I'm building a BeePre and an Eros.  Are there any alternatives for the on/off power input switch that fit in that hole?  I would like to get something more solid, metalic- like the old-school metal toggle switches. 

Dr. Feickert Blackbird II w Reed 2A tonearm and Lyra Skala cartridge.  Eros 2.  Audio Note DAC 2.1 Signature.  BeePre with BeeQuiet and Paramount 1.1 monoblocs into A7 VOTTs or Nagoaka folded horns.

I haven't seen any metal switches that fit.  You could measure out all the holes on the chassis plate and get a new one cut with a round power switch.

For what it's worth, the oldest piece of Bottlehead gear that I have is a Foreplay preamp from the mid 1990s, and the plastic power switch still works great.

Ya- I figured you guys wouldn't use it if it were'nt a pretty decent part.  I just like the look and feel of a metal switch.
