Right!? Doesn't look/feel as old as it really is. I like your switch idea. I tried to spin it and get it going but I turned it off probably too quick and the tool rest caught/bit my finger...ha. So not a real successful test. I'll wire it up and try that again.

Can you expand? Why would I open it up if I know it’s the relay? I must be missing something...I love to tinker but my "tinker project" list isn't getting any shorter.

I noticed my pic didn't post...not sure why. I've scoured the internet and I'm finding nothing promising for this particular relay. Loosing hope to be honest. Thanks for the double switch hack idea...I need to think on that for a minute and see if thats my only option. I'll see if there are...

I've got a Craftsman 3/4HP, Model 397.19671 with what I think is a bad starting relay...It's the Klixon 4CR-21-713 (4 posts). Post No. 1 is loose and I'm suspect is the problem. Any suggestion on where to find a replacement?
