Well the install went well. The amp sounds great. I’ll let it burn in for a few days and give it good solid listening session but so far these caps seem like a good replacement. The shorter height required moving the rectifier 1/2” over to avoid a short on the transformer bolt.

Well. I was just about to warn you on that...
Depending on your luck it will just get stuck closed.

I have not been able to find an identical switch that will fit.

But actually it is possible to open op the switch give it a thorough clean and put it back together.
Strongly recommend adding a slow start/inrush circuit to avoid this in the future and add some extra life to the switch.
 
I was able to spray some contact cleaner inside and it works well now. The switch is manufactured by Carling Technology. On their web site you can put together the part number and that will get you almost an identical switch. This part number gets you the same switch but without the flat center of the rocker. The A at the end of the part number gets you the metal bracket that will screw right in. Not sure if you can buy just one though.
