Does anyone have any good instructions that show how to upgrade the power switch on a colecoviosn? Id like to buy a brand new lighted switch and wire/solder it into the CV. Does anyone know of a certain switch that fits good? Any parts numbers to get me started? Thanks for the help.

In my experience, rebuilding or resurfacing the original is the way to go.
New and lighted is nice, but getting it to fit nice with the CV case is where the work is. The existing switch uses a 1.5 inch glamour cap extension (think switch stilts) to get functionality to the exterior case. Probably mounting the switch to the case, then running wires from the switch posts, to the switch points on the main PCB.
Definitely do-able. Doubledownon11 is the resident expert on such fancy schmancy endeavours.
