[TenTec] Omni-C Power Switch Challenge

[Mike Bryce]

Jim,

that’s quite common. Someone at one time wired the power switch up to turn on/off the high current dc. That’s not how that switch operates. It controls the AC on the ten tec power supply. 

I’d bet the farm, that the contacts have been welded due to high current flow.

You could contact the factory, but I bet that part is long gone out of stock. Try Allied or Newark for the part. It’s rather common pot with a switch on the end
