Hi,
I am trying to repair a Meridian 200 CD Transport which has a broken sensor switch to detect when the tray has fully opened. The switch is the same as the one used in the Arcam Delta series of players, see photo below.
I would appreciate it if anyone recognises the switch and can provide any info on it.
Thanks
David

I had the same problem with my Arcam 170.2 and solved it with a small micro switch. I soldered a piece of wire to the lever of the switch and bent it as needed, see picture:
Thanks,
That is certainly an option if I cannot find the original part.
This is a switch found in a lot of Philips CD mecha´s.
Maybe it´s smaller, but try and look for the laser switch on a VAM 1201-2-4-5/CDM 12.1-2-4-5 etc.
Looks a lot like it

I had a k
look, but could not see what you mean. The switch I circled is external to the mech.
I meant the switch, that these Philips mecha´s use for return stop of the laser/drawer in .
Edit: I Might be wrong though. Went to have a look, and they are not similar. Probably thinking of
the same switch as the one in your picture. Cheapest might be to salvage one from another
broken Philips mecha/drawer 😉
BTW.... Meridian 200 uses a Philips CDM4/21

Maybe Omron D2F-01L or similars are a good option.
I've searched in "spdt switch" but I haven't found this switch. These switch I have had in my hands, but I don't know how to find it by its name.

OK, thanks to everyone who looked for this!!! I have found it.
It is an un-encapsulated micro leaf switch that was used in quite a bit of hifi back in the 70s and 80s including Sharp turntables. Here is an ebay listing:
5 pcs x SHARP VZ, GF, RP RECORDER MICRO SWITCH CONTACT END SWITCH
