Linn LK140 Power Switch

Post by vicdiaz »

Hi,

I'm looking for a suitable replacement for a LK140 power switch. Linn no longer carries them.

TIA

Good afternoon Vic, you might get more replies if this was posted in the "Wanted" thread also.

Good afternoon Vic,

Glad you were able get an actual LK140 replacement, and I'm guessing they aren't that easy to find now days either!

Not really, had to take out the original one to check if there was a part/model number on it and a quick internet search pointed to Digi-Key and Mouser for a more recent model version which fits and works perfectly.

Go really careful if you're going to solder to the switch - its body plastic melts with very little heat. Perhaps solder female spades on to the wires rather than soldering direct.

Good job finding an aftermarket part that fits and works perfectly!
