grinchsr 644 #1 Posted February 27, 2020 Has anyone found alternative rocker switches to replace the light switch and test switch for the 5-series machines. I am doing a mechanical restore on a 518 and both switches are dead. One is a momentary switch and the other is a SPST. Looking for something that will fit into the factory cut outs.

grinchsr 644 #3 Posted February 27, 2020 I did and the spring for the light switch crumbled in my hand and the other one was rusted with burnt contacts. This machine was not stored outside but it was in a damp area for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grinchsr 644 #5 Posted February 28, 2020 Thanks Garry but I was hoping to find aftermarket for less money. Trying to keep it a low budget restoration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
