Question need laser for pantograph

The switch on my longarm Gracie laser pointer quit and other than buy a new one at +$50 I'm looking for other alternatives. What does everyone else use for pantographs and how is it attached? I have a Queen Quilter which is the same as a Tin Lizzie & the encoders or the quilt always got in the way of the beam from the old laser & I would like to position another one where it is more visible. I have been looking at generic lasers but many of them have a pressure button rather than an off/on switch besides which the batteries are very short lived, lasting a very short time. Being on a fixed income I would rather buy fabric than spend $ on add-ons that although needed do not last long. The laser that quit had only been used a few times. I know there are many experienced long armers on this board that can offer suggestions or tell me what they use. Someone on another site said Qbot has a new one but it is only for computerized machines & mine is not. Thanks to everyone.
