[Boatanchors] [Hallicrafters] SX-115 Power Switch -- Update

[Carl]

Another possible option is to remove the switch and plate and install a 
ceramic wafer in place and use that as the switch. Even phenolic will work 
especially if you can double up the contacts and install a CL type surge 
limiter.
