Can someone point me to a source for replacement switch paddles for the
IMSAI 8080? Todd Fischer of imsai.net tells me that he has red ones, but
no blue ones left.

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Disclaimer: I have not tried this, but others swear by it.
Try automotive vinyl dye. Case-modders appear to love the stuff:

Mouser has paddles. The Red ones are very close to the original IMSAI.
The Blue ones are quite a bit lighter. You can either darken the light
blue paddles our just replace all of them. At $0.73 each, it
wouldn't break the bank.

Almost perfect! I wonder if a treatment of vinyl dye (as suggested
earlier) will darken to blue ones to the correct shade. What bugs me most
about this repair job is that I had a baggie full of them a couple weeks
ago and now I can't find them anywhere.

Purchase a large quantity.
Go to put them away for later. No matter how thoroughly you had
previously searched, that storage location will be unavailable due to
being filled with the large baggie full of them that you already have.

Once the job is done, you will find them.
