Agreed. I have replaced more than one power switch on DEC terminals
The terminal arrived today but unfortunately it
doesn't power
on. I've checked the fuse and continuity of the cable...
The power switch at the front was notorious for breaking because it's a
left/right slider and people got too 'energetic'. from "over-frobbing". The VT220/VT240 switch
had a standard
footprint, so I was able to get a functional replacement at Radio
Shack for a few dollars. The VT100-family can take a standard
ball-bat type toggle with brass fast-on tabs. I'm not sure about the
switch type on the VT420, but definitely check that power is getting
through it, especially if it feels "soft" when flipping it.
