Title: busted rocker switch
Post by: geezerizing on January 05, 2011, 12:04:40 PM

oh the frustration - first kit ever, just about to plug it in for the very first time when I try the rocker switch (to see if I can figure out which way is ON) and it won't move at all. I look, and poke and try again and now it moves freely with no click. So I'm certainly not going to plug it in until I can replace the switch.

Can anyone tell me what the specs on the rocker switch are, and how I can get a replacement?

Thanks...

You can plug and unplug the amp with the power switch on.  Or you can solder the two wires on the switch to the same lug and use the plug.  It is inconvenient but I hate for you to be without sound while getting the replacement.

Thanks-- a good idea. But actually, I have a pair of old Paramours as my backup amps -- the rocker switch appears to be the same, so while I'm awaiting the replacement, I'll pull the switch from a Paramour and install it into the Crack.
