lol, that IS heavy duty! 10A. It'll work for sure, but a 3A version would be cheaper. Juist go there and look for any of the mini (not sub-mini - those tend to break easier) SPST switches with a sealed frame...

so i cut off the switch and wired up the red and black together. the MMM fired right up. been running fine now. i bet my first MMM was the same problem. it had the exact same symptoms. too bad i already sent it in. so now i think i have a good system to make a MMM last. remove fan, cut out casing to expose heatsink for cooling, and install quality switch (or remove altogether). these 3 steps seem to prove helpful and having a MMM that will run trouble free. so far......
time will tell.
