Default Re: At last! A KB “Toaster” radio.

Hi PJL. The switch isn’t completely open, there is a few Meg of resistance there, so hopefully it’s just oxidation or soot from arcing.

I have successfully “ bonked” switches by forcing them to switch a heavier resistive load such as a 150 watt incandescent lamp.
