Going to enjoy this... I have the same model! Mine was in better shape, and I just cleaned. I am jealous of your switch, mine is just a toggle on the motor box housing. Your attention to detail is amazing. Thanks for the great content.

I love the switch too. I did see one on eBay when I was deciding if this one would work.

[@sandman4487]

I have the same one but a floor model. It's missing that depth gauge on the side by the handle. Do you know what it's called and where I can purchase another one?

[@ABrazHouse]

I found some parts on ebay. Perhaps a good starting point?
