Old Amplifier requires fixing
Discussion
Hello
Bit of a long shot…
I have an old Hitachi HMA-6500 power amp, which works fine, except the LHS VU meter works intermittently, and the bulb in it has now admitted defeat. A mate has said he can make the VU meter function again and fit a new blub.
The real issue is that the power button on the left-hand side broke off years ago, and as the amp is now considered valuable, I would like to have the amp as it should be, with the proper knob on it.
I've been googling for a few days now, is there anywhere that sells parts?
Thanks in advance.
This is a library picture – it’s not my amp.

You won't find genuine parts like switches - anywhere.
It's also worth noting that the Mosfets this amp uses are long obsolete.
I suspect the amp will need a thorough service, and possibly even recapping.
Ensure that whoever you choose to work on it knows their stuff, otherwise you will end up with hefty doorstop.
