Does anyone with a Technics SA-C07 maybe snapped some internal pics at one time? I'm specifically looking at the power switch area, to see how that switch interfaces with the power button.

Norm why do you ask?.
I used to have one of these but I never opened it up.
I would think that either the power switch is mounted internally and the power button passes through a hole in the front case or the power switch assembly is mounted to the front case. Its probably a simple push button switch with a button on it.

I purchased one. The seller removed all of the screws to the internal chassis, only the front cover had screws and shipped it like this. Needless to say, the internal chassis with the power amp module, power supply, transformer etc. all shifted during shipping. The power switch had some kind of extension attached to it to allow the external button to contact and actuate it. That piece is missing and I need to see what it looks like. It doesn't seem to be described or illustrated in the service manual so I'm wondering how that switch interfaces with the front power button/knob.

Those likely won't work Floyd, as those are mostly all offset and have switch sockets on both ends to prevent the rod from tweaking sideways when pushed. From what I can see, the power button is mounted on the front cabinet with a spring and the backside is a flat disc. There does not appear to be a physical connection to the power switch itself except that it should butt up against what I presume will be an extension of some sort, since the power switch actuator nipple is about an inch shy of contacting the button. I wish the broken part was still inside the unit but I can't see it anywhere unless it worked it's way into some gap or inside the deck assembly. I'm guessing something like this, except with a disc shaped pad instead of the button tip.
