[Heathkit] SB200 Power switch needed

[Paul Kraemer]

No, there is not a direct replacement available in single quantities
The switch in the 200, 220 and 30L-1 had an asymetrical mounting pattern 
about the vertical axis
The ones available that are the proper rating that have same size rocker can 
be adapted a couple ways. The right way is to fix the mounting bracket so 
the hole centers are correct.
The "other" way involves doing some bending on the bracket so it "fits". 
Looks like **** and you may damage the switch.
Then, there is the rocker itself. Some design person came in and deceided 
that all of them should be white and smooth. The rocker can usually be 
changed to the original with a little work removing the rivet and replacing 
it after the rocker is changed.
I have found some that are form fit and function ok in McMasterCarr and 
WWGrainger. But they are white and they have symmetrical mounting so that 
needs addressed. And, they aren't cheap either.
