I finally had find EGA monitor for my collection!!! Monitor was in really bad shape, but worked (from auto service, garage). I cleaned it fully, and now looks awesome, but of course, the Power Button is at the end of his journey 😀
Does anybody knows, can I use power button from CM8833 or Commodore 1084? There is a lot of pages that sells those models power buttons, but i cannot find any store that sell this models PBs. If it fits, i will bought it, so i can enjoy more 😀
Thanks in advance!

Can you post a photo? Also check the voltage and current readings on the switch.

I need to disassembly the monitor again to take pics 🙁
Switch works, but i need to add toothpick 😀 on the upper side, to stuck the button on! I was hoping someone here has the same monitor, and had exact same problem. If not, i will disassembly the monitor again.
