Hello,

Cambridge A 60 amplifier, I have the switch stuck, I disassembled it,

Does anyone have an idea if we can open this switch?

    Hello biman,

    Normally it's clipped, but since it's not meant to be disassembled, you have a good chance of breaking the clips during disassembly.

    If your switch is stuck on OFF, it's either wear or a broken part... If you tinker with it, you risk having the same issue again quickly.

    Honestly, for the price, I recommend that you replace it.

    Best regards

    Good evening surf adcom

    Thank you for your response, where can I find this switch?

      Hello,

      See here to find an equivalent... https://fr.farnell.com/w/c/commutateurs-relais/commutateurs/commutateurs-a-bascule?brand=arcolectric-bulgin-limited&eclairage=non-lumineux&courant-de-contact-ac-max-=10a&st=interrupteur+on+off+ampli

        Hello.

        Thanks Baladur for the reminder.

        Later, out of curiosity, I looked further into the precise search for the reference according to its photo and couldn’t find the exact model of the brand that can be found on the Farnell site.

        So I think the functional characteristics of the button are the same for some models presented, but the dimensions differ by a few millimeters (maybe), and that would require a bit of Sunday tinkering.

        And considering the prices on Farnell, it remains very interesting (excluding shipping costs) ;-D

        That's why I didn't necessarily bring up this discussion.

        But that's kind of you.

        :o)

        Couldn't find the 49PUT4900/12 either, reference Arcolectric C1450, hence the suggestion to find an equivalent...

        There is this one C1450-T85 https://www.radwell.co.uk/en-GB/Buy/ARCOLECTRIC/ARCOLECTRIC/C1450-T85/

        although it is no longer manufactured.
