Subject: Re: Commodore 1084S monitor
As ever, 'any recycler' depends on where you are. I don;t think I could
get one that way over here.
Most of the ones I've see had a 4 core cabel
ending in faston tabs to
connect to the switch. the switch being mounted separately in the case. I
suspexct it's that type of switch which the OP was suggesting as a spare
of the monitor.

Yea, those are the more common supplies that lasted into the Pentium era
before everything was ATX. The switches can be found at any recycler and tend to be a perfect fit for commodore monitors (at
least the 1802 I fixed).
I think there are 2 separate contacts internally so you just need 2 of them
Yes, every one I've seen was a DPST (double pole, single throw) switch.
The cable to the SMPSU had black,white,brown,blue wires in it. 2 wires
were the mains (after a filter, normally), the other 2 were ths input to
the SMPSU.
I should have stocked up on those old AT supplies
before the local recycler
went bust... when you have things readily available and cheap you sometimes
don't grab them thinking they will be around forever.
There are plenty of things that I wished I'd stocked up on years ago too....
