The Power Switch.

The original power switch is/was intermittent. I am looking for a new old stock replacement and will contact Mark Oppat (King of Kontrols). I hope he has a new one. He has helped me out on several occasions. If not this newer looking hamfest find may help.

Original switch
Hamfest find. This switch looks considerably cleaner.	Hamfest switch on 500k tapped Delco Radio pot.	The Hamfest switch is very stable when measured with an ohm meter. I have confidence it should work. A NOS switch is not available.
