Marantz 2230 - Please help me replace the power switch.

[MunKee]

I found a Marantz 2230 on CL for $20. It has a bad power switch. I can't find an original replacement switch online, but I do have a universal replacement switch that is commonly available on eBay. The issue is I am a wiring newbie and I am unsure how the universal switch corresponds to the original switch. I have an image below, with each point labeled:

Could anyone give me the corresponding soldering points. Any other advice would be helpful. Thank you.

If you have an ohmeter you can "ring" out the terminals to see if you have 3 sets of N.O.(normally open) contacts, a 3PST switch or for some reason 2 sets of N.O./N.C. contacts, a DPDT switch. Either way it's kinda odd for this application.

Wire the same, with the cap, don't use the 2 terminals closest to the screw holes.

Yep, what BK said. It's a piece of cake even if you are a novice at soldering.

It worked!

Thanks! It was just as bk said. Straight forward as can be. Thanks everyone for the help.

Looks like a light or two is out and it needs a good cleaning. I hooked up some headphones and the tuner sounded clean. Not bad for $20. Even included the replacement switch.

Continuity testing is very basic & can be your best friend.

The switch being sold on eBay can be had at Digikey for about $5 shipped.

Damn, only $20? That's a score my friend. Way to go!
