Audiolab 8000 power-Switch Cover?

[myleftear]

I‘m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but:
The plastic part of the power-switch of my old audiolab 8000P broke apart.
Since they‘re nearing their 40 years, many probably get discarded or cannibalized... so, maybe... has anyone a spare powerswitchbutton, or knows of someone having those around?

Pls PM
Thanks very much...

Check out Digi-Key, they have some oval switch cap in stock may suit your needs.

Rhis looks good!
I‘d never ever would have thought of those parts possibly being available „just so“…

Hi I am in the same boat, same Amp (Audiolab 8000a) except two switches are broken (it's my Dad's Amp, my Mum closed a slide door on them :-( ).

That DigiKey link no longer works and I have no idea what I need to search for on that site?

Or if anyone has old switches cannabalised from a broken player I'd be happy to pay postage for them (I need the knobs too though)?

Thanks!

Hi jk
Are you sure the switches are gone?
For the buttons, it looks like we‘re on our own. I remember a very nice howto-page, will see if I can resurrect it…

The switches are actually ok but the square white spindle that the knob fits is broken off, so doesn’t hold the knob on unfortunately. The other one is ok. Yes please if you have any guides it’s be great thanks 🙏

I found the link. It’s in german, which shouldn’t be a problem nowadays… the bigger challenge will be to interpolate what to do with a non-round knob. I may try it someday, you may do so, too…
Keep us posted!
