I've got a couple of e-mails out to places claiming to carry parts, but I have a feeling this will not be a service item. I have a broken 3-phase rocker switch, part number 9A-221 , the switch actually still works but plastic wish-bone shaped rocker lever is broken. Anyone dealt with this before? My saw is 1975, my prediction is the switch went obsolete when OSHA started requiring " emergency off" red crash buttons in the 80's?
Also, while looking at parts, I saw someone sells a polyuretane " band saw tire" for $26. This saw just has plain steel pulley wheels, and sometimes the blade with catch and stall, slipping on the pulleys while motor is still turning (tension is correct on idler pulley). Has anyone tried one of these tires, they claim better performance. I'm guessing you stretch it over the drive pulley? All feedback appreciated
