Replacing a Cracked Eject Lever on a Famicom

[treismac]

I recently received a Famicom off Ebay that arrived with a cracked Eject Lever.   



Heartbreaking, right?  Well, I got a full refund, so don't feel too bad for me.   Anyway, the system works great, so I want to try and replace the Eject lever.  Is there a good online place to find replacement Eject levers?  How tricky is replacing it?   

Thanks!

Tricky. Old plastic is very fragile, if you want to get this part from a donor. Remove the broken part is not a big deal.

Also you can find a fami-clone donor   they are very cheap , I used one for the   Eject Lever too

So, follow up question:

Where's a good place to buy Famiclones on the interwebs?

Several in the Buy/Sell/Trade section now!

I have figured out after breaking one of these eject lever side clips that the best way is to take the console apart and push it over to one side far as you can and use your fingernail to push the one side in just enough for it to come out. When you do it this way you can tell so much more about how far it has to go and actually not even put it under much stress at all. I just restored a square button and no issues removing it this way.

if you are still struggle to find one there are templates on thingverse for the eject button.. if you have 3d printer you can make yourself or you can use 3d printing service to get a cheap replacement...
