Hi Olivier!

Well, The battery is pretty standard I think - any 3V recharchable
should work, but talk to a technician near you.

It looks like you should be able to get a standard slider to fit in, 
but if you REALLY can´t find one I might be able to...

The microswitches are pretty standard - used almost everywhere!
(Although I can help you with some used but goodworking ones (ca. 10)

Best regards, Clauzii
