Looking for Power Switch - Optonica Amplifier SM-1515B

[JohnC]

Can someone recommend a source for a replacement power switch?

It is a toggle type snap switch for an Optonica SM-1515B stereo amp. Hole
spacing is 1-3/8 inch. 120V.

Looks to me like a fairly generic paddle switch.

It was probably marketed under the brand name "Panasonic". It may be a stock
design.

If you're looking for an exact replacement, here are some places to look:

(1) Authorized parts sellers for the brand of equipment you are trying to
repair.

(2) Distributors for the brand of part, in this case Panasonic.

If you're looking for an near replacement, here are some places to look:

(1) Electronic parts catalogs for places like Newark, Digi-Key, and Mouser.

(2) Surplus and remainering houses like Jameco, All Electronics and Parts
Express.

You are looking for a part with the same number or more contacts, with
contacts rated at the same or more amps and volts, and one that is the same
size or smaller. Mounting centers should match or be smaller.

Your replacement strategy may include fabricating a sheet metal bracket that
bridges any possible gaps.

Most likely. As the contacts are not replaceable you need to find an

Would any SPST switch with an adequate voltage/current rating suffice
(presuming it fits where the old one did)?

Aside from the detail of fitting in the same hole, absolutely yes. Do
ensure you get a type suitable for *mains* switching.

Another viewpoint: Just permanently connect the wires (and apply proper

insulation), and switch the amp on and off with a correctly rated switch in
the mains lead.
Or, maybe even better, leave the amp powered-on.

The hole of the original switch can be filled either with the now
non-functional switch, or a nice power-on indicator. Add some creativity
here ;-)

YMMV, Folkert/NL

That's ghetto, much better to fix it right, you might be able to disassemble
the switch and repair the contacts.

Why would it be better to leave the amp on all the time wasting energy? That
stuff isn't free.

I appreciate the comments and suggestions.

The switch that needs replacement is actually fine electronically. In fact
it is always on. The problem is with the snap action mechanism. The switch
lever took a blow to the side and broke some key plastic rocker parts that
allow the snap action to function. Any SPST switch rated at 120V, 1 amp?
will work but my preference is to maintain the cosmetics. Switch should be
OFF in the down position and ON in the horizontal. I thought this flat lever
switch was fairly common but perhaps I was mistaken.

I viewed some of the recommended sites but came up negative.

Disposable Coveralls Polyethylene: The Best Quality, The Best Price

A look that was very popular over the winter period was the high
waisted and wide legged trouser. This trend is still going strong but
with a new twist for spring with a lighter colour scheme and lower
waist. Avoid black and select a beige pair instead, although the wide
leg is still strong the ultra high waist that we saw over winter is
now lower, so the style is more wearable.

Although many a celebrity bought into the oversized bag trend, most of
us mere mortals noticed the potential for injury and stayed well away.
Breathing a sigh of relief the smaller clutch bag is back in for
spring, with the bag again being more of an accessory to an overall
outfit. It is not necessary to coordinate your clutch to your
footwear, picking an accent colour from your outfit may make your
look.

Although neutral colours were the main attraction at many a catwalk
show, there are some major colour themes working there way in. Two of
the brightest shades for summer are royal blue and purple, with purple
being teamed with all shades of pink to create a bold statement. This
look can be interpreted with more wearable shades of lilac with a
flower pattern, killing two looks with one outfit.

Back on the catwalk fashion radar for spring is denim, in every shade
and style. For most of us denim never goes out of fashion, however
with many designers taking a fresh look at the material, this means
there should be more choice than ever filtering down onto the high
street.

Try to avoid dressing in denim from head to toe and also steer clear
of mixing your denim washes and colours. You could team your denim
with the neutral trend, perhaps with a tailored jacket or maybe mix a
denim skirt with a floaty shirt. This spring there are many fashion
trends to try, the catwalk looks are clean and a breath of fresh air.

Agreed, but I guess he is not going to have access to one of these. To Tim,
when I said that the caps were hard to get out, I was including the whole
gamut of removal problems, including clearing the holes, in that blanket
statement. One problem that you can encounter when using an iron that's not
hot enough to overcome the thermal drain of the groundplane on the joint, is
that the thru' plating comes out of the board, on the capacitor leg. It can
then be an almost impossible task to get a solid connection to any internal
planes on the board, with the new cap.

Arfa

I guess I've got lucky so far. All the boards I've done (probably 4 or
5 now) have worked perfectly ever since. I might invest in some better
tools if I find myself doing a lot more of these.

Using my Bluetooth-linked GPS unit with my iPAQ 2210 Pocket PC has the
serious downside that the 1000 mAH lithium-ion battery runs out after
3 hours or so, nowhere near long enough for a day's walking/hiking.

I'm considering buying a higher capacity battery (3300 mAH) but that
has the disadvantage that the 2210 would no longer fit its leather
case. So an alternative I'd like to explore is using conventional
(alkaline or NiMH) batteries. The lithium-ion battery is apparently
3.7V. The DC power unit plug that fits the cradle I use when at home
reads 5.28V on my meter. So a 6V set of 4 AA or C or D cells are
candidates, possibly with a diode in series. Has anyone tried this
please? I'm assuming there's protective circuitry to maintain the
appropriate voltage anyway. Presumably the lithium ion battery in
place would get charged simultaneously? Safely?

MUSLIM'S SAY MECCA SHOULD BE THE SOURCE OF THE WORLD'S TIME
Clearly the goal of Islam is to have a global Caliphate = muslims will
conquer and rule the world. I and many others have chronicled the overt and
stealth invasion of the UK, Europe and elsewhere by muslims and the
atrocities committed in the name of Islam. A relatively new muslim movement
is to create an internationally enforceable "legal instrument" by which
muslims can stifle any type of free speech, in the Western world, against
Islam. Currently muslims are being encouraged to file lawsuits against
anyone they deem to be offensive to Islam -- often using ludicrous "Human
Rights Commissions" to do the dirty work as in the famous Ezra Levant case.

Now muslim "scholars" have decided there is yet another way to implement
their Global Caliphate. Insisting that "Mecca is the center of the world's
land" they want to change the reference point for world time from Greenwich,
England (Greenwich Mean Time) to.............where else but Mecca. They have
even invented the Mecca watch. Muslims balk at what they feel is the Western
world inflicting Greenwich upon them. In fact these inbred thinking
"scholars" even want to discard Western maps.

For those who continue to keep their heads in the sand and refuse to believe
in muslim's desire for world domination - it is past time (Greenwich Mean
Time) for such dhimwits to wake up.

Thanks to all who have responded. I immediately replaced the fan with
another one - had to devise a way to mount it on the video card heat
sink which wasn't straightforward. I was just curious about why the fan
was so position sensitive.

I've got a small 12V DC .9 Watt 'muffin' fan (1.75"x1.75"x3/8").
It was the cooler for a video card's processor chip and was
frozen up.

I put a drop of oil into its sleeve bearing and it now runs
reliably - almost. It will start every time as long as it is
not oriented with the open 'face' down. (The open face is the
side in which you can see the bearing). If the open bearing is
down, it sometimes starts and sometimes needs a slight nudge to
get it going.

What's going on? How come? TIA

With business uniforms, you really have the scope to play with colors.
There is no need to stick with the formal blues and blacks; nowadays
business uniforms are traveling to different areas in the color
spectrum. Hip colors like lilac, purple, peach, burgundy and even
turquoise are being lapped up by corporate customers. Most business
uniform buyers choose to buy colors that complement their own
corporate colors. With the wide range of colors in business uniforms
available today, even this kind of choice is possible.
