Here is a substitute for the original power switch for the Black Cat JB2000 base amplifier. The original switch is around 50 years old. It had a built-in neon pilot lamp. This one does not. The two screws that mount it have the same 6-32 thread as the factory switch and the same 1-5/8-inch spacing. This makes it a mechanical drop-in replacement.
It does have the original 20-Amp current rating. Just be sure that the relay that activates the amplifier's high voltage is properly delayed. That relay protects the power switch from the high-voltage turn-on surge current. If you bypass that relay, the power switch gets the whole slap of surge current when you turn on the amplifier. Won't last long that way. If you bypass the high-voltage relay and spot-weld the contact points together in the new switch, feel free to buy another one and burn it up the same way.
Because this switch has no pilot light, I include a neon panel lamp. You'll have to drill a half-inch hole in the front panel to mount it and provide two wires to hook it up. One pic shows where the hot side wire goes. The other pilot-lamp wire goes to chassis ground.
There are no returns. If I wanted it back it wouldn't be listed for sale here, would it? Of course not.
We ship no later than the second business day following receipt of cleared payment. I prefer USPS Parcel Select. It's been VERY reliable and comes with tracking. The shipping cartons are free. If you want a cheaper service, I'll have to pay for a carton that isn't marked "Priority Mail". You won't save more than a few bucks by the time I add the cost of a carton to the sale, I will insure it for the final sale price.
IF YOU PREFER A DIFFERENT **USA ONLY** SHIPPING METHOD, CONTACT ME **BEFORE** YOU PAY! I will prepare a quote for the method you specify and send you an invoice for the corrected amount. This option is available to USA destinations ONLY!
!!!! NOTE !!!!
Shipping to destinations outside the US are by the Ebay GSP or Global Shipping Program.
How much that will cost you is anybody's guess. Ask Ebay if you want to know. Maybe they'll tell you. They won't tell me. Maybe they should rename the "GSP" the "Global Secret Program".
GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!!
No, I will NOT ship direct if you are outside the USA and its colonies.
GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!!
If you know what it is and what it's for, you can decide if you want or need it.
And if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it.
Trust me on this.
All routine Ebay precautions apply. Scammers take your nonsense elsewhere.
Please.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
