Orange Terror Bass 500

Hello,

I have an Orange Terror Bass 500 head (purchased from new) with an intermittent on/off switch fault (sometimes it refuses to switch off).

Despite having only used it a handful of times (as a back up) it's out of warranty.

Orange have quoted me £45.00 + VAT for labour, £20.00 + VAT for shipping (both ways) plus the cost of the part. (Assuming it’s the switch that’s at fault.).

However being the thrifty sort that I am, I figured it'd be easier to just have the switch replaced myself.

Orange themselves refuse to sell me the part as "it’s a mains switch so is considered to be a safety critical part that means it must be sold to a dealer for their tech’s use."

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff, but have a friend who's handy with a soldering iron. Does anybody happen to have any idea whether a generic switch would do the job or if only an official replacement switch will do?

Thanks

:)
