I'm trying to find a replacement for an Alps SDS 3 P power switch, as
worn-out in a Tandberg 3012A integrated unit. This switch is not showing
up at Alps website search engine, and the description of the SPPB series
to which I've been led there is not appropriate for this application,
nor is the form factor.
I have an intended use for this unit and would like to get it going
again instead of buying something else. Suggestions?
If I can't find something graceful I might go the toggle switch route,
which would be a visual esthetic travesty, but could get me a working
pre/amp.
Tandberg's part number is 370992, and looks to be a push on - push off
switch with a separate spring-loaded push button that sticks out
through the front panel. It's a 2PST, but in America the poles are
just wired in parallel.
I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that a completely cosmetic conversion to
some available switch can be made.
Faced with these issues, I'll sometimes just shotgun all the available
likely parts from MCM, Digikey, Mouser, etc. and hope for the best
fit. Of course, I do tend to end up with a LOT of parts around here.
Good fortune,
Chris Hornbeck
