Were the power connectors (input power from ppwer source) Din round connector) specially made in Japan and not made anymore, seems trying to find these in Electronics suppliers the solder pins come close but just wont lineup. This is all I could think of as far as the Din and even the C64/C128 power switch just not available so rob these parts from parted out units.
