Rotary Power Switch Suggestions?

[TroutBear]

Just completed a Dynaco ST-35 build in a Dynakitsparts SCA chassis w/ their transformers and Dave G's board. Very pleased, but I need to add a power switch would like to find a quality SPST rotary one for the athletics as I complete w/ a faceplate - not a plastic stem, etc... as I see in many places. Any recommendations?

I've used a number of these. AC Switch
Expensive but easy for my novice self to implement. I bridged the two positions in some builds where I didn't care to have the filaments come on first .

IMO, for AC mains rotary switch, plastic stem is safer than metal stem.
However, if you want metal stem rotary switch, surplussales.com is a good site to look for inexpensive rotary switch, A Oak / Electro Switch DPST 20 amp, 120V - 240VAC rotary switch only $2 each.
Or check out the C&K MA02L1NZQD at Mouser, rated 6A, 125VAC.

Lorlin RMS1035 or Lorlin CK1061 available from Farnel,RS,Distrielec

The CK 1061 looks like it is only rated for 150mA.

for thousands of cycles yes, but for a few hundred and with a fading capacitor between the contacts that poses no problem.
