Finished up the recap job this eve, replacing the three 10000 volt caps in the HV section.

Reassembled, and powered up..no fire...no smoke..no buzz...no tubes glowing..no nothing....

Totally dead.

Did a bit of tracing of the power circuit through the on/off switch..and wouldn't it be a bummer if the set has been dead since around 1960 due to a bad power switch?

Well..the power switch IS bad. I jumped it and everything lit up on the bench. Still no explosions, no fire, no smoke, etc. But every tube lit up as it should.

Anyone have any luck repairing a power switch? If not, any idea where to get replacements? The switch is a combination on/off switch-volume control and hold control. I can solder in a temporary toggle switch for testing purposes.

I've posted a "Want Ad" with part numbers in the "Classifieds" section.
