Astatic D104M6B

Does anybody happen to know where to find a switch like this one?

Thanks for the link. I just got one of these mics and the button is so hard to push that I thought it was broken. I push it in like normal and the radio keys but no audio. I double checked the battery and looked over the PCB; everything looked ok. Then I figured out that I was only pushing the button in half way. I need to pop the cover off again to see if something else is making it hard to push. I will probably change the switch anyway just because.

How many watt soldering iron will I need to do this ,75watt ?
I have a soldering gun that I use. Threw away the new iron I had because it wouldn't heat the wires enough to melt the solder when I was rewiring my car.
The other iron is big, and I used it on brass and piano wire when I was building slot cars.
 
All of the new Astatic microphones are complete junk. They are not the same as the old ones, not the same company, just the name only. The switch will fail and always make a terrible scratchy noise. I'd say to buy an RF limited xtreme 2018 microphone, however they are not being made any longer and hard to come by. Best microphone ever!
