Minimax S45 starter switch problem

[David Schenk]

According to my electrician friend my capacitor on my starter switch is no good. Anyone know where I can get this part. No markings on it. Don't want to have to replace whole switch as they are going for over $200. Have pictures if it helps but don't know how to post.

Thanks

I have the same saw. And read that they go often. I am in the floor sanding business. And numerous times my off/on buttons will go on my big 220 machines. I got tired of buying them from Clarke and bona. So my local electrical shop put a "blast proof" universal switch on them. Never had an issue since. This same switch could be used on our saw in sure. It wasn't cheap. But very high end
