Craftsman block grinder on/off switch question...7" 397.19440

[1982fxr]

Model # 397.440 Sorry for the crappy pic; it's a 1/2 HP.

It runs all the time. Can anyone point me to a switch like the one on there?

This was originally a toggle switch with an on/off plate under it, right?

thanks

If that's a flat top, like I think it is, then that is the original switch.

yes, a flat top.

any idea where to get something close, or whatever would be the easiest replacement that would look decent?

I looked for one of those when the one on my grinder cratered. It's not available as Sears parts so I modified a nice Mercury wall to fit. Looks like new now and cheap, too.
