I could redrill & jumper the pot board to accept “normal” switches but I really hate to do that to my OB-8. I don’t see any other way. Thoughts?

Need "diagonal contact" OB-8 buttons!!
Anyone know where to get Petrick panel buttons used in late-model OB-8's? These have the "diagonal" contact arrangement. Need one with and one without LED and after looking in all the usual places can't find 'em anywhere. Mouser and Digikey list E-Switch 5511 and C&K Digitast buttons which have the same appearance, however the pins are arranged in a conventional rectangular layout and won’t fit the pot board. AFAIK Petrick is no longer in business.

These are used, so may have the original pin layout you need. Syntaur is 100% reputable by me.
