'84 Marshall 5005 Lead 12 power switch

I just acquired an old amp and the power switch was missing. Where the heck do I find a replacement and what are the details of installing it?

I would contact Parts Is Parts.
The switch is a panel mount. There are little latches that compress as it is inserted from the front of the panel.
To remove it you must compress the latches & push it out.

Also, I wnat to replace the power cord because it was cut and rigged and I dont feel comfortable with it like that.

I recieved the BLACK/WHITE/GREEN set up. I tried to install it but a friend of mine told me the wrong color code so I'll have to give it another go tomorrow. I greatly apriciate the time you have taken and the patience helping me out with this. Any tips on installation of the cord and switch? I went and bought a soddering kit and the right tools for the job but I don't yet have the exprience to do this without help and i'm way too cheap to take itto a specialist. Thanks again for the help!

Ok, I got it u and running and it sounds amazng! There is one more thing I need help with though. When I mess with the gain and volume knobs I get pops and crackles. What can I do to fix that? I understand that an amp that is as old as I am is not going to work perfectly, any ideas?

They just need cleaning. Get a can of "de-oxit" and squirt a little into the opening near where the pc mount pins are. Rotate end to end a few times....good ta go.
