Greetings Creekers,
Well the speed switch on my PC 333VS just gave up the ghost. My daughter was sanding away when she tells me the sander keeps cutting out.
Um??
A quick disassemble reveals that everything is working up to the speed switch. A search of the world wide web shows that the speed switch is discontinued. Really!?!?!?!?! (Guess I figured any PC product would have parts available.)
SO my question, Does anyone know of a replacement switch that will work?
I am thinking that I have two choices: one bypass the speed switch and have a sander that runs one speed. Two, buy another sander.
Thus I am open to your feedback.
Thanks for reading and keep making sawdust!
Victor

First, get some contact cleaner from Radio Shack. If this doesn't work, bypass speed controller, and buy a CHEAP router speed controller.
