[AT] Off Topic Parts for old tools

[Aaron Dickinson]

www.ereplacementparts.com  is a good source for replacement parts for power tools, they are not always the least expensive but they have the parts and a very good lookup system. Often I will look up a part on their website to find the part number, then search the net using that part number, sometimes finding it for cheaper, sometimes not.

Thanks for the link...   I ordered one, hope it will work...  I have 2 
of the old belt sanders that use that switch.  They are worth a small 
fortune with a working switch.  They are used for belt sander races...
