Thanks Sphero,
I missed that one when looking digikey.

Yes, the logo is CX, with a double C (the unfortunate shade made it look
like an L). Ah, maybe the logo is CCX. I'll have a look.

The switch carries the usual approvals for worldwide selling. I just thought
it was obvious and didn't included the other side pic. Sorry.

It seems the Alco switch will mount OK into the front panel cut.
Unfortunately the rocking axis will not match the front panel marking but
I'll use it if I don't find a better one.

Watson,
have a look at www.amrel.com

I bought the PS used on ebay a few years back and had a bad surprise with it
(one of my first buying). It was supposed to be a working one, but one of
the bypass cap had a pb, has been simply removed (yes) and some burned
tracks have been 'repaired' with... solder braid. One output power
transistor has been, well..., hum, changed for an 'equivalent'.
Due to shipping costs, I had better to keep it and repair it. So I reverse
enginneered it: the schematics is... kind of original, but it works, and the
PCB layout is totally childish and in no way coherent with a professional
design of the end of 80's. Somewhat disappointing and surely not an HP grade
product. I hope for them (and their customers) they've improved their
quality.
