It's mostly in beautiful condition, but if you look at the photo of the W&G Electric in
this link, you'll see an on/off switch just below the motor. On mine, the switch was damaged in shipping, i.e. I pushed the off button and then tried to push the on button and it won't swing to on. Husband took a look at it and said he might be able to stabilize it (on button kind of dangling) but is not sure. I looked briefly for a new switch, but really don't know what to look for or even if they are available.
So I guess my question is, how much would it ruin the value (or does it even matter) if he (a) just bypasses the switch altogether if its not repairable by simply wiring the machine to on and just using the foot pedal to work it?
Does anyone know of a push button mechanism copy?
Thx. in advance
