A very easy solution for a standby switch for the SB-220/221 series...
The front panel is held on with 4 screws. I drilled out the hole for the
screw on the lower left corner, installed a mini-toggle switch there. Since
I had previously added a small relay, so T/R was only switching 12 volts,
this became a trivial fix for the lack of a standby/operate switch.

Where were you when I needed you?
That would have been a fantastic addition to my SB-220 rebuild. I
originally intended to use an original switch but couldn't find a good one
and bought a generic one. It would have been just as simple to do what you
did while I had it all apart.
Great idea!
