OK, so I found a bit of round plastic and got the little lathe out and made a new button :)
Needs a little tweak as a bit long but overall should do nicely. I need to find a spring too.

Re: A new addition - Teleng Colourstars
And the finished job looks quite reasonable IMHO. Works great too :)
Just need to give the unit a good clean up now.
As it happens I noticed that I could have replaced it with a full switch like the pic I showed above, but the replacement button top turned out so well I don't need to. Also I'd have had to peel the label and I wasn't keen on the idea.
@stephen_usher it did turn out to be a generic switch when I looked a bit closer :)
