Narrative:
First marker beacon audio sounded, switch was out (in off position) then noted intermittent led's on navigation/communication and other electronics. Communication went out, set transponder to 7600 then 7700, made circling descent to manchester, nh, airport. Noted planes taking off to assure correct runway in use. Waited for green light from tower and made a normal radio out approach. Excellent landing, taxi to FBO, repaired electrical. I plan to buy a hand-held navigation/communication as soon as I can to prevent such an occurrence.
