Old Technics stereo receiver, circa 1988.

Power switch. Button in in - unit is powered. Button in out - unit is
unpowered.

Now, if I just push the button to power it, it powers itself, then powers
down. If I push the button in and release it -very- slowly, it'll stay on.

Any feel for what I'd have to go thru to repair or replace the switch?
Unplugging the unit to put it on a workbench is only slightly less
unpleasant than an enema with a firehose. :-)

Thx,

The low tech answer would be to put a switch in the power cord. Lower would
be to unplug to turn off, plug to turn on. Lazy would be to give it to a
shop for repair. Modern would be to upgrade to a new system.

Although all of these would be better than the firehose, Franz's ideas are
the way to go.
