Default Stk 439 HMV Japan, Popping powerswitch

Hello Forum.

I picked this amplifier up, and by picked it up i mean found it on the side of the road and brought it home.

It has a popping powerswitch, and produces more sound out of the left channel, which will require me to fix it using all sorts of science - which, unfortunately, i do not know how to do.

My question is this! Do i bother fixing this old hunk junk in my trunk OR do i buy and build a 3886 kit?

The popping power swicth can be fixed by replacing it or putting a small capacitor across it to soak up noise.

Might be worth getting a quote from a repair shop ?
