Title: 1084 Monitor switch
Post by: mbob on August 10, 2015, 03:10:57 PM: I'm looking to repair a couple 1084 Commodore monitors power switches that do not lock on. The switch I need is a PREH ME5A and Commodore part #70060-232. In the picture its the white one but the black one can be modified to work instead. Anyone have any of these?
