Here's a detailed write up of my restoration project: http://mail.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=247842
The power switch on mine is a toggle mounted through a hole in the side of the cabinet. However, there is a mounting bracket on the volume pot and a little wire stub that can flick the toggle. I have also seen other Spartons where the switch is mounted on the pot. I did some experimenting and found it wasn't that reliable as sometimes the wire would slip over the toggle and not switch it. I suspect that's why it was mounted on the side.
