The museum's vic-20 power on switch is difficult to turn on and off. Is this a common issue with the vic-20? Is there a way to make it easier to turn on and off like the C64 power switch? -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member, VCF East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey@vcfed.org
This is a common failure. Not sure if it is fixable, perhaps with lubrication, I never tried. Replacement is an option.

Lubricating a switch should help Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.
