Subject: Re: Commodore 1084S monitor
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
to be soldered into the power circuit. The 120VAC rating should be as good
or better then the original.
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.
