Need some help on a Milwaukee mag drill

[cmccuist1]

I bought this off of Facebook Marketplace. Paid $50! It's a beast. It works, but as you can see in the first pic, there are two buttons that are missing the actual button part. You can still push in the contacts with a screwdriver handle, but hell no! That's dangerous!

I stayed on hold with Milwaukee for awhile but gave up and they never called back. I'll try again today, but does anyone know where i can get those buttons?

Check ereplacementparts and see if anything comes up with the model #

Yes, i tried ereplacements. This mag drill is about 50 years old. So replacement parts are limited.

I finally got through to Milwaukee. Talked with a very helpful guy. They sell a replacement control panel. It's $400. I just need the buttons. I'm going to see if I can get someone to 3D print them.

Make them out of wood. Or, just use a piece of wood or plastic to push with.

That shouldn't be too hard. I'll give that a try.
