Inside Astonia SC 300 Amplifier

[madhurvyas]

Today I opened up my Astonia SC 300 to fix power button and CD/Aux switcher button.
Both of them were not working due to damage in shipping. Power was stuck at on position so i was using it for this long.
Took some internal pictures.

Rs.10 worth push switches. Rs.15-20 worth potentiometer. Rs.15/mtr worth ribbon wire. Keltron, Samwha and some other brand electrolytic caps. PP caps worth Rs.2+. Resistance worth 20ps to Re.1/pc. Transistor based (C547/548 or 1815 probably) tone control. MX rca socket. All the ingredients of good old nukkad shop amp except for toroid trafo and a good looking face plate part. Try replacing the power switch with either of the ones in the pic. They could have done good wiring and neat soldering too..

Buying a Norge 2030 would be good idea over this?

Depends on your budget. What will be your extended budget? There may be other better options available.
