Replacing a contact on a WM rotary switch.
They say "waste not, want not".  The other day I had the mill hesitate on the forward travel.  Time for a cleaning and greasing.  So I removed the dash plate and started to do same.  I hardly touched one of the contacts when it fell off.  I guess just too many flexes.

I thought I had another forward/reverse switch and Mary thought so too.  But we looked and looked and none was found.  I did have an old up/down switch I'd kept because it had failed in the spring action area but still had good contacts so I pulled some contacts off it and used them until I could get a new switch.
