The price was right...
That one I cleaned up and reused, so no. They don't get many cycles and it still worked. Would really like some exact replacement power switches for both 700B and Series II.
One thing I like about the Series II vs my Pro is that you can fit the knobs without the faceplate on. They stay with the sub-panel. The Pro doesn't have that large rectangular cutout so you have to pop the knobs off to do anything inside the amp.

I would like some rotary switch to put in a series ll 400 as I will replace the right volume pot with a dual pot and put a on off rotary switch in the left volume hole. And suggested switch to use ? 8 amp or better please.

Przem you may want to use the original fuse holders if they are still good. The new HKP are for
1 1/4" fuse and are not as well made as the old timers. I bought 20 thinking I would change out with new and now I an using the original ones. Buy the way the four supply fuse holders take agx 1" fuse and the supply is HKP which uses agc 1 1/4 fuses
Should have mentioned I went to all 1.25" fuses. AGC much more available.
Thanks for the heads up! Ordered the 10 lot for $10 each. More than I need so if some of you guys would like one let me know. Sell at $10 cost. I'll cover shipping.

Nice looking unit, Fred! Nice that it sounds at least as good as it looks. 
I am glad you like what you hear Fred. I am enjoying it as well. Thank you for the care you put into the assembly, you made it go smoothly.

Fred - the aluminum knobs you used look great. Can you please provide the source? I'm looking to chrome the faceplate of my 700B and the knobs.
You bet.
For the Series II I used these:

For the later 700B amps that have plastic knobs I use these:

Also solves the half shaft problem with the plastic knobs. They are 6 mm so need to be drilled out to 1/4 inch.
