  • Alpha 2100 control panel

    From Jay Cotton@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 17 17:01:46 2022
    I have an alpha 2100 with a bad switch on the control panel.

    The switch is the halt button, the part is failed in the closed position, and
    I suspect that interferes with the self test sequence.

    Needed a front panel or the part number for the switch. Maybe I can
    find one at digikey or some where.

    tnx

    The switch can be replaced as well. Can you post a picture of the offending switch? IRRC it should be a thru-hole type momentary switch.
