Can I buy this part in an electronics store? (Fulltone Bass-Drive content)

Is this part of one of the toggle switches? You won't find that little piece in any electronics store, even a big one as far as I know. Since a toggle switch costs about 50 cents, there's no reason to stock all the teeny bits inside them.

 

I would take the whole switch to an electronics
component shop and replace the complete unit.
Parts for switches are generally not for sale.
The reliability of the switch has been compromised
by pulling it apart. You may have lost other parts from
within (e.g spring or bearing).
Your question can be equated to taking a blown light bulb
to have the filament rewired. No disrespect meant but it
is just not done/worth it.
A little more upmarket/specialist electronics component store than radio shack should have the part. Phone around.
The switch should be branded on the side or bottom with make and p/n.

Try;

Good luck

A top notch toggle switch shouldn't cost more than 3 ~ 4 bucks.

 

And one that's still OK, but doesn't have a brand stamped on it about 0.50€ (~0.70$). If you soldered before let your friend show you what he's doing there & you should be able to fix it yourself the next time...

Edit: Oh, btw: I don't use SPDT switches (the blue+red ones) anymore since the seem to be too fragile. I instead use mini DPDT switches, which are not that much bigger but a lot more reliable (plus you can use all the rows at the same time, if something fails it doesn't matter most of the times since you got the other rows working).
