Sending pre in for service, need volume controller

Hello, I have to send my First Sound Reference passive back to its maker for a toggle switch replacement. Does anyone make an inexpensive switch box w/volume like QED used to, that I could just plug in to tide me over until baby comes home? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Can you solder? You can build one with Radio Shack parts for $20 or so.

Google "passive preamp diy" for info.

The Creek OBH-10 has just a motorized passive volume control in a box, the OBH-12 is simiar but has three inputs as well.

Thanks, everyone. It's looking like it might not be too painful after all. I can make an appointment, overnight it to First Sound and be music-less for maybe 3-4 days, tops. I was thinking it was going to be longer, but Mr. Go seems to think it's just a simple toggle switch replacement, as the other inputs work perfectly. It's only the right channel on the main input that cuts in and out.

Appreciate all the help.
