I canalized the odd rotary switch, found a suitable washer. Here is the fix. Didn't even need to solder. I wonder what an authentic power switch looked like? The blue 'int' is not hooked up.

Check out this power switch. I'd like to replace with something authentic. Looks like a bit of a rube goldberg though. Look at all that switch to throw that tiny switch from a turning action. Shouldn't be difficult to find something for it if I can't find something original. I haven't found any images of a Fulcrum with this front. The ones I've found have the front panel.
