I know on later model RCA consoles (like CTC-68) they used a microswitch on the back of the volume control for the push-pull on off switch...they really should have used something more substantial like that on the CTC-16's. I have seen a lot of cases of power switch failure in the older kind of volume/power switch...usually it ends up failing in the open position on the ones I have seen. I don't think these kind of swithces were really up to the high current draw of these kinds of sets.
