[Hallicrafters] SX-115 Power Switch

[Grant Youngman]

After finally getting my CE-100V/SX-115 station back on the air , I  
turned on the SX-115 tonight and it didn't power up.  In fact, nothing  
on my BA power strip powered up.  It turned out that not only had the  
radio taken out it's own fuse, it took out the main fuse in my variac  
controlled power strip.  Took a while to track it down, but the SX-115  
fuse pops just plugging it in with the power switch in OFF, the power  
switch contacts don't close, and it appears that the switch vaporized  
with one side internally shorted to ground.  At least that seems to be  
the problem -- it's late and there's no telling how many neurons are  
actually firing.

So -- figuring it's most likely unobtainium -- does anyone happen to  
have an SX-115 mode switch layer with the power switch??   It's also  
measuring like the primary of the power transformer may have opened  
up, but I haven't unsoldered the leads for a final check on that yet.   
So I could also be looking for a power transformer as well.  I'd  
consider taking a complete carcass off your hands, if the power  
transformer and power switch are good, presuming something like that  
even exists out there.

D*mn you, Murphy.
