I have been servicing vintage units for a while. With years I've developed deep respect toward the vintage gear (especial tube gear). It is a pity to see how many units are
wasted/mutilated (drilled holes in the faceplate or chassis for a toggle switch installation, cord cutting for in-line switches etc), just because of the broken on/off switch!
After many years of back and forth I decided to
re-manufacture many of  switches / volume pots that were used back in the days. My main goal was to produce a high quality part that is better in comparison to the
original switch.
I am glad to announce that I succeeded. I am very happy with the result and am sure you will be too!
This is modern production switch.
WORD OF CAUTION:
For those of you who are considering altering the unit (drilling holes in the faceplate/chassis for a toggle switch or adding an inline  switch by cutting the power cord)
I would say STOP! Such alteration of the faceplate/chassis or the cord will play a significant role in how much you can sell the unit for in the future!
DO NOT ALTER YOUR UNIT!!!
Any such alteration will decrease the value of the unit by at least double the amount you spend on this new potentiometer.
Down the road you will want to sell the unit and any alteration (such as, mentioned above) will devalue it significantly.
Specs:
Direct Replacement, no need to alter/mod anything!!!
On/OFF switch:    can sustain up to 6A current.
Voltage :                110-240V (Universal-tested)
Motion angle:        40 degrees (from off to on position is 40 degree motion )
Here are couple of points why one would be better off buying modern production pot for his/her vintage unit
:
1. Many original switches that were used back in the day came with huge design flaws:
Notoriously unreliable on/off switch. Experience has shown time and again that by now more than 75% of those switches have failed and the other 25% is one
foot in the grave. Very often I have customers who tell stories of a receiver turning itself on while the power switch is in off position. The reason for this
is the faulty switch that shorts and causes the unit to turn itself on. Now just think about it! What if one is not home when a tube receiver/amp comes
live! Definite fire hazard!!!
Even if one fixes an old switch/pot or buys NOS, the result will be short lived due to huge flows in the design itself.
I see many posts on various forums where people are looking/asking for a good replacement.
I have a limited quantity. Will keep few for myself and help others with this hard to find pot.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you and let's make your birdy sing again!!!
