I'm not sure how to access the switch.  I'm pretty sure that Radio Shack will
still service your printer.  You can try asking for the service manual for it,
if you want to work with it yourself.  Tandy's National Parts warehouse has
lots of old stuff; I know that they even carried the Model 102s for the longest
time [though I haven't heard of this lately].  Take a look to see if there are
any retaining screws or anything.  Be gentle and don't wear staticky clothes.
If you avoid touching traces and pins, you will be fine--the power switch is
not terribly sensitive as long as you don't *zap* it.  Good luck with getting
the switch fixed--it shouldn't be difficult, even if it needs replacement.
