TWANG Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 got this chassis from british audio.. left the power switch in for me. but. whenever I went to plug in wires.. I noticed the plate the crimped end plugs into comes right out of the switch. since I get power and could check voltages, it doesn't seem like that's any of the 'other' probem. But it sure freaks me out to thing those tabs aren't connected inside except by just laying in there. IOW, I can't see inside the switch but it's apparent that whatever is touching when you flip it, it's fairly loose. What switch can I put in place of that huge thing?

cGil Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ahh yes. THE infamous unanswered question! I could've sworn someone found a switch that fits that odd size hole, but darned if I can find the link on my 'pooter. I'll keep looking. Unfortunately, I can't check the SEwatt FAQ. Gil...

TWANG Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 I thought someone said they found a way.. a big switch or something.. this one's just a tad too used, makes me nervous when the tabs come out. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cGil Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'd just like to find some ornate brass plates from some drawer handles or something in a scrap heap and use those to cover the hole for a couple of regular toggles and a jewel light. Still looking. Gil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layboomo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Twang I'm sure Cherry Electrical makes a direct drop in for the original. Just measure it and look either on their site or Allied Electric carries them. I kind of agree with Gil...though if mine failed I'd go with toggles and a jewel light.

I was playing with the idea of "Steampunking" my VJ, make the cab out of Oak with all kinds of brass and copper on it and a brass porthole on the front.
