Re: Mark VII a start and a long ways to go..

Love the old school pencil sharpener attached to the work bench. I'm not sure about the switch noises, they are noisy as the fwd/Rev interlock plate is striking the stop when you turn the key, then there are other sounds when pressing the buttons, and the buttons can rattle a bit as they aren't real...

Re: Mark VII Replace On/Off/On Toggle Switch

I still think this Taiss universal switch may be a good option? I didn't end up trying it as I was able to repair my original switch. There is a 12 terminal option which I think would work. https://www.amazon.com/Taiss-Universal-Changeover-Terminals-Connection/dp/B08GSB3J79/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&k...

Re: Mark VII a start and a long ways to go..

I'd suggest bench testing the switch with a continuity tester for each position checking which terminals should be open or closed for each position. The internal sliding plates and contacts for these switches is really complex. My contacts on a couple terminals were worn to a point where I was getti...

Re: Mark VII Impeller

I have the exact same issue with mine. The groove on the motor shaft that the snap ring fits into is worn on mine which allows the snap ring to work it's way out. I ran the motor and used a needle file to clean up the groove and make the edges somewhat square again. I also switched from a snap ring ...
