    Great job with your restoration! When I pulled my grinder apart I managed to crack the switch. I ended up removing the components and reinstalling them on a board I fabricated. On a high note it let me clean the contact surfaces thoroughly.

    getting close to completion. runs nice and quiet. had to make a new base plate for the cap start switch because I managed to snap the original in two during disassembly.
