Re: Roberts R800 switch.
Frank's suggestion looks a good solution to the problem. I am also all for doubling up on the switch contacts if possible to spread the current flow for best contact life.
On a similar note maybe a power MOSFET to carry the radios's supply current is another idea. I built a bedside timer for my late father's Roberts R701 radio which used a MOSFET to control the radio's supply. From memory the circuit was in September 2000 EPE magazine. I think it was a circuit provided by a reader.
