Carver PM 300 push internal mono switch

[Basquat]

Hello all,

I just opened up my Carver PM 300 power amp when there was no sign of the push internal mono switch. There is a clipping switch next to where this should be but an empty socket as shown in the attached photo.

Any input including where I might purchase this switch would be appreciated.

Thanks

That blue part looks like a DIP header, or perhaps the remnants of the old switch. In the likely event you can't find the exact switch, you can always hard-wire the function to the stereo or mono mode, using bits of wire to simulate the switch contacts. Owner's Manual (with schematic) is available free on-line. http://www.carvermanuals.com/manuals/Amplifiers/PM-300 Owners.pdf

The rest of the switch snaps on after soldering. It might be simplest to remove the base and hard wire a different switch.
