I have a lovely old - and great sounding - Sony amp. However, the on-off switch is broken.
It is an Alps toggle switch marked 3N and 514-965-12.
The first picture shows the blade-shaped lever that has broken: part D snapped off of part B at point C.
The outside small silver cylindrical knob pushes over part D.
Everything up to and including part B is present and works perfectly, by hand. There is just nowhere to fit the
(also missing) knob to.
I have though of changing it around for another "unused" toggle. I do not really want to do this, but, in any event, I can't, because part A of the switch is different (pin is 2x as long) as all the other toggle switches on this amp.
I have 3 questions:
1. Does anyone perhaps have a used spare to sell me?
2. Can this perhaps be repaired? As in "welding" a new part D onto part B? Has anyone ever done this?
3. Any other ideas?
The second picture shows a similar (but not the same) switch available on e-bay. Mainly included to show what an unbroken
"blade-shaped lever" looks like
Thanks,
Johan
