I have an alpha 2100 with a bad switch on the control panel.

The switch is the halt button, the part is failed in the closed position, and
I suspect that interferes with the self test sequence.

Needed a front panel or the part number for the switch. Maybe I can
find one at digikey or some where.

tnx
jc

The switch can be replaced as well. Can you post a picture of the offending switch? IRRC it should be a thru-hole type momentary switch.
