I've been repairing a lot of FDS and while they're mostly belt issues, I've run into one bad motor and one with a head position switch that was damaged by a previous owner.

I have found the motor replacement, and it is here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EG-530AD-6B-6VDC-2400RPM-CCW-DC-MOTOR-For-home-recorder-educational-instrument-Repeater-loud-speaker/32357357420.html
It says 6VDC but worked great anyway.

However, I've not found any switch that would work to replace the head position switch. It's a fairly long leaf switch with a flat, curved copper spring that gives it a very nice firm click on and off. There is a tiny Mitsumi logo so I know Mitsumi designed and manufactured the switch. I know it's a long shot but have any of you found a switch that works here? It has 3 flat legs and a white housing that snaps in with two tabs. Looking at images of other floppy drives it doesn't seem like this type of switch is used, even on Quick Disk.

tl;dr I need help finding a Nintendo Switch

Sorry no helpful solution for the switch but a thanks for sharing the link for a replacement motor.  I recently fixed 3 systems and have yet to come accross a bad motor but if I ever do its good to know there's a link to a replacement.
