Something like this (Not sure if the original is SPST or DPDT....)

I think this is the fella, DPST.

Go with that DPST from eBay. That Happ switch looks SPST which means it couldn't be wired to isolate both live and neutral mains wires for master on-off. Maybe they were like that back in the day on US arcade cabinets but do it right and make sure both mains wires are disconnected when OFF!

If you're desperate and have one nearby Maplin do a 10A DPST for £3.59, code JK26D, but it doesn't have the nice printed ON-OFF plate.

Off to Maplin then at the weekend, cheers

Always best to kill both legs, just in case

Why not add in earth too.....

 

[Paul]

not sure if that was tongue in cheek ( In which case ), however the earth should never be disconnected.... It's sometimes called a "safety earth" for a reason...

I was taking the fish.

You can't summon Captain Planet without earth anyway.

Off to Maplin then at the weekend, cheers

You can check stock online, by the way. Just in case. Don't want a wasted bus fare over a three-quid switch
