old CS 400 - replacement power switch?

Post by OccamsShaver » Thu Feb 07, 2019 12:06 pm

I've got an old CS 400 (CS-400 Power Pak) that works great, with the exception of a wonky power switch (it sticks, and the power lamp does not come on).
I've found CS 800 power switches for sale online. Would that work as a direct replacement? If not, does anyone have a recommendation for how to get a suitable replacement?

Thanks!

Hope you've found a replacement. If not, I would pull it out and check the specs on the side. Any switch that is the same type, of same or greater rating (current and voltage), with the same hole size would work.

Thanks, Jefflaf. I have not replaced it yet. I did pull off the secondary plastic cover, which seems to help with the switch movement a bit. I could not find a switch with the 6 terminals online.

i just found the right switch on ebay.
keep in mind with these switches two legs opposite the copper legs that are for the light itself.
i could not find this switch new anywhere, but i didn't check with Peavey

Does any one know where I can purchase the replacement power switch for a Peavy CS 400C? Its an Arrow England 2600R11E.

Here's what I bought and installed:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MV ... UTF8&psc=1

I paid $8 for two of them. All it took was some slight filing of the switch opening for it to accommodate the expanding sides of the replacement switch.
