Model 3600 Power Switch

The proof of the restoring is in the listening.

I got this 3600 in working condition (but in need of a recap). It came with a badly burned power switch which may have been caused by a short on one of the unswitched outputs (from the looks of it).

What switch could I use to replace it?

The power switch on my 3600 burnt out because I was an idiot and ran my 250M power amp off the switched outlet. Folks here said it would be alright :(. Anyway, I completely disassembled it, cleaned it up. I did have to steel wool the burnt areas on the contacts, so those surfaces may eventually oxidize over time.

The hardest part was getting it out.
 
Mine looks like a short on the unswitched outputs because one of them is fried too.

I ordered a switch let's see how it goes...
 
Keep us posted!
Will do! I am also waiting for a replacement relay (there is one installed and it seems to work but it isn't the original). I also got a new Marantz power cord, trying to get this unit as close as possible to the original.
