[R-390] My 'new' R390

[Barry]

You might be able to revive that power switch.  Sometimes they get stuck in the down position but pressing them down just a bit with a small tool and letting it pop back up can sometimes free them.  Letting a little bit of cleaner like IPA, etc., work down in it can help.
