Ariston RD 11S Power Switch - advise

[shantyblues]

I recently took the plunge and bought a nice Ariston RD 11S turntable. It works and sounds great however the red power switch doesn't light up and it is occasionally a bit stubborn.
Before I try to "re-invent the wheel" can anyone tell me if these are fixable or is there a suitable replacement switch available or do I just live with it?
Forgive me if this has been covered before, however I could not find a link.

Answered my own question. A trip to my local electronic parts store yielded a snap in replacement illuminated red switch - only $3.

I also have an RD11S with a switch that no longer illuminates. Do you have the mfg. part number for the replacement you found or can you refer me to your parts source.

Thanks

I have one, as i have just upgraded to a hercules power supply, which i actually fitted tonight.

yours for postage, but may work out more expensive than buying locally.

[gboruch]

Quite nice of you to offer that. I would be willing to pay for postage and forego a local search. Please let me know how I can initiate that.

Hi Gboruch,

Sorry this may have to wait now, as the hercules has stopped working again, so will need to go back to hong kong for repair again. not sure what the problem is with this board, but its really causing me problems, bought it second hand, but its cost me more than a new board now.

Sorry to hear of the trouble you're having and hope you get it rectified soon. Thanks again for your offer. I will try my luck sourcing the switch locally.

Best of Luck!
George
