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. :-)

How about leaving that switch on

Don't think it'd work. Switch is making partial contact. It's
working now, but if I stomp on the floor or a heavy truck
goes by ...

(or bypassing it) and switching the
power?

That's a possibility -if- cleaning/fiddling doesn't
work. I doubt I could find a replacement switch for
reasonable money.

First I gotta find time to draw a diagram of all inputs,
outputs and put it on the workbench. Aaaaargh!

(missing sig separator of "-- "?)

Somebody else's convention, not mine.
