Seek Push-pull Power Switch for Ampico Upright
By James Williams

Hello, The electric push-pull On-Off switch on my upright 1924
Marshall and Wendell Ampico piano has become unusable. Is there
a replacement electric switch available to replace the original
switch? 

I once saw a story of this being done with a modern and safer electric 
switch and it worked very well. Please let me know if you have seen 
that story and if you have done this and know how to go about doing it. 

Thank you for helping me.
