    Up for sale here is this brand new power switch.  This is a perfect replacement for the Sansui AU-999 power switch.  This is just the microswitch that is inside the amplifier--it is NOT the lever switch, so if your lever is broken off, I do not have a replacement for that, sorry.  This is a perfect drop-in replacement for the old power switch.  All you will need to do is unscrew the old one, screw this one in, and solder the wires to it.  This might work for other Sansui equipment, but I do not know for sure.   This is brand new and is higher-quality than the originals.  It is guaranteed to work great for you.
    Here's how to install this:
    1.  First, make sure your Sansui is unplugged.  Remove the top and bottom covers of your Sansui and put the screws somewhere safe, like a bag or plastic container.
    2.  Remove the headphone jack nut from the faceplate.  There are special tools out there to undo this, or you can use the tips of needle-nose pliers, but be extra-careful not to scratch the faceplate--if you slip, it will be damaged.
    3.  Remove the screws holding on the faceplate-there are two at the top and two at the sides.
    4.  Remove all the knobs from the faceplate.  The round knobs are all held on by two flat-head set screws each.  You will need a slim, strong screwdriver to remove them.  The lever knobs are usually glued on and are very difficult to remove.  What I had to do was just pull off any that would come off, then pull on one side of the faceplate.  When I pulled hard enough, the knobs all popped off and flew everywhere.  Don't lose your knobs.
    5.  Remove the faceplate, then remove the two screws holding on the power lever switch.  Wiggle the power switch out so it's accessible.  The micro-switch is attached via two screws.  Remove those, then screw in the new switch.  Desolder the wires attached to the old switch and solder them to the new switch.  The new switch has one more terminal than the old switch, which has an empty space where that terminal was.  Just ignore the extra terminal--if you try to remove it, you can easily break the switch.  Once you have soldered the wires, then put the power switch back and screw it to the front of the chassis again.  Power up your Sansui (ideally on a dim-bulb tester for safety) to make sure it works fine, then reassemble the whole thing.
