pickup selector switch?

Anyone know a good source for a replacement pickup selector switch for a 4001? Are they still made?

Mine is old and tired, and is prone to popping back into the center position if I try to select the neck pickup alone.

I don't know if any dealers carry them, but you can get them directly from RIC on their boutique page:

Edit: I see that Pick of the Ricks has them also:

LOL! I should have thought to check the RIC boutique, I really should be familiar with everything available there!

Thanks, guys, for the multiple references.

Bill, most times you can use needle nose pliers and adjust the switch leaves to look symmetrical and it will work like new.
