Yeah, that's another reason I like to use a bucking transformer box w/switch, it saves wear and tear on the old (unobtanium) switches. My Fisher C-810, for instance, has a unique combo double power switch + volume control that is irreplaceable. I've been hunting for an extra for 5 years and have never even caught a whisper of one. It not only turns on the receiver but also dual rear panel mounted AC outlets (350 watts rated) for accessories in addition to functioning as the volume control.

Note the S-2 double contact switch for the outlets to handle the potential 350 watt (max) surge.
