@beans-on-toast, those switches are the only switches I could find that would fit. Thanks everyone for you guidance. Here is the final restore. Replacing the Tolex was the most challenging, since I had never done it before.

Thank you for the additional capacitor information. I misspoke before. I did not mean switching the ground, I meant switching the neutral.

I cannot find a DPST switch that will fit into the small space. The best I can do is a SPST, so I will wire that to the power side as discussed and leave the neutral as is. This is the switch I found that would fit. As you can see there is not much space (<1/4") below the bushing. I did get...

I understand what you are saying, and I have that skill set. Basically you are switching both power and ground. The potential problem is Ampeg did not provide a lot of room for a switch. My current DPST switch which has solder lugs above and below will not fit. I will have to take some...

Paul, 1) Yes it is a simple single throw. 2) Yes, black and white twisted are coming from the power cord. Black via the fuse. 3) Yes, black twisted pair are going to the transformer. I have a DPST switch for testing. I can buy a matching one later. Thanks
