Help with Grandpa's drill

[scrapdaddy]

Hey Guys,

My Grandpa gave my Pop this drill @ the time he bought our house in 1956 and I've had it for @ seven years now. I replaced the cord and found the bakelite trigger housing broken. I rewired and super glued the housing, but would really like to find a new trigger. I can't even find a picture of this model, let alone a trigger. Anybody have an idea?

Thanks!

Dayton Electric Mfg.
Model# 1Z674

I actually have an old Milwaukee Hole Shooter drill with a cut electrical cord that I got in a tub of tools I recently picked up. I have no idea if it will work for you or not but let me know. It looks like the top one in this pic: http://narhiauctions.hibid.com/lot/14768-68639-272662/-2--vintage-milwaukee--hole-shooter--drills/

the switch looks similar in this pic of a drill I own. I would be willing to open it up and we can do some comparisons. $25 shipped and the drill is yours if you can use it

Thanks guys for the offers. NYBODYMAN, I don't think yours will work, but thanks.

Cobber, seems yours is real close. If you don't mind shipping it, I'll buy it worth a try.

got your PM, let me get it apart and lets compare. unless you want it regardless?

 

[scrapdaddy]

I'd rather leave it together for now, if you don't mind shipping it. Those pieces are pretty brittle.

Thanks again,
Ron

Thanks again Cobbler, after looking at some videos, I think that's the same type trigger.

Anybody else know where to buy vintage drill parts? I know someone out there rebuilds these old ones.

 

[NYBODYMAN]

Good luck with the rebuild. If you find a place to get parts, I may just try to rebuild the Milwaukee I have.

Thanks Man,

I'll call them tomorrow. Like you said, if not, he will know who does have parts.
