Marshall 6100 / 6101 - push buttons

[SputDog]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, but see there are some great threads on here. Hope I can contribute.

I'm a proud and happy owner of a Marshall 6101 LE with matching blue combo (had since new) and it's the duck's nuts.

Recently I have had the effects loop series/parallel selector switch fail and my local amp tech here in Western Australia hasn't had much luck in sourcing a replacement. I contacted Marshall who advised they don't hold spares anymore but mentioned the component I'm looking for is a Push Latch 30V DPDT.

Does anyone know where these can be sourced that are suitable replacements?

Thanks

Fellow 6101/6912 owner - killer amp, no doubt.
Sorry, I have no clue about the part, but hang in there - there are some 6100 experts here.
My only thought would be for a temporary fix, pick one or the other and have your tech bypass the switch.
I don't use the parallel setting, so I'd be fine with having mine hardwired to series.

Is it something like this, or did I misunderstand?

A similar replacement should still be available. Haven't had the chassis out of my 6100 in a while, or I'd do some investigating.

Yep, that's what the tech did. I still want to source the part - there are a few of these switches on this amp so may happen again.
Thanks very much.

I figured Pete would know the correct part, and assumed he'd chime in when @FracStrat tagged him.
Looks like he hasn't posted in a while.
Try contacting him through his website.
