Where?

I am building the hand built NES from ben's book and I am really bad at summarizing a whole chapter of schematic babbling. I have 80% of the project done, but where do I add the power switch? what I mean is, what leads of the project do I connect. I know he mentioned it, but I can't find where. Please help.

As far as I can tell, it goes on the positive line between the battery / DC jack and the input for the PSone screen and NES motherboard's 7805. (If that sentence made any sense... I can draw a picture if it would help.)

I remember seeing a pre-drawn picture of this somewhere, lemme see if I can dig it up and save Bic 5 minutes of his life!

EDIT: Aha! Here we go! It's a general hookup for a switch in portables. It says "+ to SNES" and "- to SNES", just replace that with NES and you'll be fine!

hmmm....I have an SPST submini slide switch with 2 leads, but this will probably work. I have already wired one lead to the spot marked unregulated power in, which is interconnecting between a .1 uf ceramic disk capacitor and a 7805 regulator..thanks to bic...and the other is on the head phone jack that links to the DC power jack.....I think this will work....Thankyou to all...let me see if the board works when I have the screen and controls wired to it.
