I reckon you'd have to collect over 100 stereo amps before you found
one with a power switch on the volume control. Such kit exists, but
nowadays its going to be a job to find it.

sorry - didn't realise they were so old - I'll go back to my memories of
the click when turning off the stereo, watching the dot disappear on the
TV, .....

and (as Dad always used to) 'ticking ' the 78/33-and-a-third
pickup needle on the Pye radiogram (with the radio dial marked up
with all sorts of 'furrin' places......)

Happy days !
