Yes, the RS switch by ALCO was the same one used by SSL and was a C&K version then I think. The red Farnell type I mentioned is also an alternative and a bit cheaper.
Not quite sure how you managed to change it without removing any patchbays as the power section is near the back of the console but, well done and I guess you did it under the connector panel.
I am glad you fixed the problem and I thought it may have been the circuit breaker instead.
Removing the patchbays is not difficult but have plenty of bubblewarp or cardboard handy to put the patchbays on, rather than scratching the console surfaces, pots, switches etc.
If you do that, it is also a good time to investigate the patchbay area, clean it out a bit and tend to any loose wires there on the patchbay which may have snapped off over time (take some pictures as well for future reference).
Also, if you have time, unscrew the 96 way DL's, check for pins pushed back into either the cable plug or console socket and unscrew the DL socket M3 screws and put them back (not as tight) as they are metal going into a aluminum panel (like the patchbays).
The reason for this is because, over time, there is a chemical reaction between the steel screw and the aluminium panel and you MAY find it harder to unscrew them later when you MAY have a real problem to fix in a few minutes.
