New member- Mark VII power switch died

Post by weindan »

I'm a newcomer to this forum - and thanks in advance for any help. My Mark VII power switch has failed and I'm wondering if anyone can advise about either a replacement or a work around to get back up and running. Thanks!

Welcome, and hopefully others with actual experience with a Mark VII will be along shortly. Just to be clear, you are referring to the model made in the 1960's, and not the newer current model Mark 7?

Have you tried using the "Search" feature in the upper right hand corner? I entered "Mark VII Switch" and got several suggested posts, some of which may help you.

If you think the switch may be repairable, here is one of those threads: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=23563&p=269782&hil ... ch#p269782

And, if you haven't already discovered Everett Davis' thread at (or near) the top of the Maintenance and Repair Forum, by all means explore his Google Drive info and his folder devoted to the Mark VII.

There was a member who posted a write up on how he had repaired his Mark VII switch.
