I was just wondering how we used to get away with the switched sockets
on the back of old hi fi amps. My old Rogers has two little two pin
sockets, non shrouded, tiny pins and the construction is pretty cheap.
I need one of these as one has a chip out of its cover on one half.
However I suspect they are not made any more.

Depending on make, you might find them on Ebay.

Think the problem is these days each outlet would need to handle the
maximum the connector allows - so if IEC, 10 amps. So would mean a much
more meaty mains switch, etc. A shame in some ways as they were very
useful.
