I've owned this Farfisa console organ for maybe 2 years now? Something like that. Anyway, it's always been in good working order, with the except of some of the lower keys being quiet/dead. It's a double manual, and I tend to only use the upper anyway. Today I noticed the red power button is not in right anymore. The one side sticks up and when you turn it on, it doesn't depress fully to the other side and is vunerable to being tapped and being shut off.

I *think* the one plastic side of the button must be broken off or something...I'm not sure. An old pic of this organ is: https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/smashguy37/P1010381.jpg

The power is the lower left. Big red button. As you can see, there is a little wood panel and the one side lifts up slightly, but the other side is tight down. I'm not really sure how to get in, but I think I'd rather leave it alone. Anyone have any idea? I can push the button back to it's proper position but it doesn't stay.
 
Well you can Try opening up the organ and replaceing the Button but if you aren"t that handy I would just try pushing the button in to it"s Proper position and then use some Glue or epoxy to affix the button in it"s Proper Position.....


Cheers
 
Didn't think about glue, but I think it gives too much resistance to want to stay glued. I've never opened the back up, but I wouldn't be able to access this area anyways from the back. I peeked in there with a flashlight and you can see wires running every which way, but I believe it's blocked off from the back opening.
