Title: Insert switch into powerboard lead
Post by: ginno on September 29, 2005, 11:41:18 pm
Hi Guys

I want to put a switch into the lead of the powerboard I have that plugs my cabinet into the mains power.

I have found a switch in an old desk lamp that I was thinking of pulling apart to use the switch.

The problem is the lamp does not have a ground lead (therefore only 2 pins) while the powerboard does have a ground.
