    That looks like just part of a switch, Jaromir. Your best bet may be to replace the entire unit with a new magnetic switch designed for 240v 1ph, preferably one with an e-stop type design for "off" like I think the component you show was part of.

    That should be a generic replaceable part. Use the search term "mushroom stop switch". For example.
    Beranek's Law:

    It has been remarked that if one selects his own components, builds his own enclosure, and is convinced he has made a wise choice of design, then his own loudspeaker sounds better to him than does anyone else's loudspeaker. In this case, the frequency response of the loudspeaker seems to play only a minor part in forming a person's opinion.

    That looks like the operator of a switch, not the switch itself.

    Look here https://www.ereplacementparts.com/po...550_32575.html at part number A101. Hope you can repair the push button, as the whole off switch is like $85. At least they're in stock!!

    Is the switch broken? Usually on EMO switches that part is removable and can be swapped with a different design if needed to meet regulations in different countries. Almost any EMO switch would do (assuming you want the twist function).

    Switch itself is working. I just need part in picture. It was creaked so I glued it back together, but now it's not working as smooth like before.

    I see where it’s glued, will it come apart where you could smooth out the insides with a dremel tool?
