Would any one know if a new power switch knob is available? Thanks Mike

Do you need the switch, or just the button?

Just the button.
See this eBay link:

I was able to repair the old one. Not sure how long it will last. If they would have but a little more plastic in the knob it would have been a lot stronger. I saw the one on Ebay. He has a few parts listed for some crazy money. If it was in the states I might bite. Thanks Mike

The button in question is used on a number of Kenwoods. TS-430/440, TS-930/940, R-5000, AT-250 just to name a few (and which I've personally verified in the shack). That should help you widen your search.

Thanks for the info on the switches. I am going to see if I can use the timer switch instead of the power switch for my daily routine. Mike

Someone needs to publish a 3D printer STL model to make a button - Use a silver filament - Nice!
I am not good enough at 3D design to attempt it but, this could also apply to a lot of radio, plastic parts that are in short supply or unobtanium.

There are several on eBay at the moment ranging from somewhat cheap to NFW.
I'd grab one of the lower priced buttons and call it a day. In many, many thousands of hours using radios that employ this model of switch and button I've never broken one.
