Help needed - broken toggle switches on Audio Research

[Clarkey_71]

Learned friends.

My Dad has recently resurrected his Audio Reserach LS2.

However, during storage both the on/off and mute toggle switches have broken off.

Any ideas where/if these can be replaced?

Thanks.

Check on http://www.rs-components.com/index.html they will have something. You just need to check the rating, mounting type and number of poles of the existing switches.

Maplin is another alternative for the parts if you are good with a soldering iron, or if you don't want to do it yourself your local TV repair man should be able to fix it for you.

Is it really as simple as that?

I thought there might be a bit more to it than that.

Cheers for the info.

Thanks for the advice.

I went to the page and there are over 1300 different types to choose from!

The only problem is thatI couldn't find a match for the Audio Research.

Maybe I should contact them directly. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

If I were you (or your Father), I'd contact A.R directly.

I'm sure I've heard that they're one of those companies who can repaire/maintain anything they've ever produced.

Also, I'm sure a cobbled together repair, as well as possibly being dangerous if you're not too electrically minded, would hammer the amount he'd be able to sell it on for if he ever wanted too. It's probably worth getting them to service the whole thing while they've got it.

If the on/off switch actually switches mains voltages then you will need to buy a switch capable of handling that kind of voltage safely. But it may not, of course, in which any toggle switch of similar size and style will do.
