Hello All,
I have had this old bench grinder sitting around for a while. It was my grandfather's and I'm trying to restore it.
It's an early 70's model B&D, cat no 616.
I pulled it apart, cleaned it up and got it all back together correctly. It runs but needs a "jump start". This unit does not have a capacitor but rather a starter relay. My guess is that this relay needs to be replaced. Trouble is that I cannot find the replacement. So I'm hoping to find a suitable replacement.
The markings on the relay indicate it is a Klixon 6409-7-172 then there is T5A marked on it.
I have seen several 6409 relays, but nothing that seems to match what I have.
I have attached some pics for reference. Any help is appreciated.
