Yes Sir: My understanding is that some of the guys have just pulled the switch apart and cleaned up contacts and reinstalled and it will work fine. I did see one on the forum recently, but you need to advertise on parts for sale/ wanted. You can have your ad moved to that area by your moderator. Have a great day Gene

Thanks guys! We really appreciate the kind words. :o

Have you bench tested your old motor? I've posted this many times. . . The motors are rarely bad and the problems are usually in the wiring.

If I really had to put a number on it, I'd say 95 percent of all motors turned in to us as cores are in working condition.
