Power Switch Relocation

The rear power switch was driving me nuts, and it wouldn't have been workable on the cart I built, so I moved it to the front panel, where it BELONGS. I soldered in automotive (high-temp & oil-resistant) stranded 10ga wire, which is superior to the original 12ga, so there won't be any issues with it. There's very minor interference between the switch wires & the edge of the rectifier plate at this location, so moving it up ~1/4" or rotating it 90 degrees might have been slightly better, but I'm happy. I did tape up the original switch hole on the back inside & out to preserve the airflow through the case.

Later, I labelled the switch.
