Hogy is nothing but a lowly troll these days...What a sad end.
And about threatening? tell that to Komboking! It takes a special kind of guy to threaten a welder who's caring for his wife sick with cancer about making some empty boxes for some DIYer's who want to get together on a build.
Without Ken to give him credibility he is reduced to an internet troll that sells pretty, hazardous, boxes for exorbitant prices. He must be really desperate for money to be hacking around here.
Maybe as a show of good will, we can review his whole portfolio of amps and fix them for him.
Could we consider an alternative take on this thread?

And that about sums it up,
Hogy
What would be an appropriate royalty for a builder to provide to the Fischer family for a "tribute" amplifier? What percentage of your profits do you pay?

My switch is bigger than your switch?
Seriously?
You're not understanding any of this.
The point is, the DC rating of commonly used switches is very low. Yet, every amp manufacturer in history has used them as standby switches to switch B+ (DC) well in excess of 10 or 15 times their rating.
If a 125V/15A NKK switch is rated at 30VDC, what do you think a 6A Mountain switch is rated at? or a 2A Carling switch as used by Fender for decades? Yet somehow they held up.
Not taking sides but Hogy is right here, this has been a common issue across the board for years. Although in my opinion its not as big as an issue as people think, a lot of amps have survived for years without having a Standby Switch replaced and I suspect the Komets will survive for years without having the Fast/Gradual Switch replaced.
Like I said, not taking sides, just pointing something out.
