Power switch substitution for Marantz 2270

I think you mean a 2235? I believe that is a single pole switch. You could use a single pole switch and wire the A.C. outlets in the back unswitched all the time, i.e. hot. The second pole of the switch on a 2270 switches an A.C. outlet at the rear of the receiver. I never like using those anyway. I believe Radio Shack has a single pole switch that might work although I don't know if will allow you to use the gold button cover as it's an illuminated switch. BTW power switch issues on 2270's are commonplace.

HifiEngine has the diagrams for both. They have a different number listed, but it doesn't look like a true part number, unless they list parts by each model individually. One is listed as S003, to other S001. They both appear to be a double pole. The 2270 has the second half switching the outlet. The 2238 has the other half switching a B+ voltage for some reason. If it fits physically, and has a high enough amperage rating, it might work. Links to them.

I found a switch for 2270 on ebay that works very well and its a perfect fit. You may want to look for it there. It was $13.99 I believe, and just works.

Whatever you do when you get the 2270, be sure to open it up and clean the relay.
