Startrite 301 bandsaw switch

[nmersk74]

Hi, does anyone know where best place to go for parts and a new rocker switch for my 301 bandsaw please? Had it for years now but the switch seems to fail every few years even though it’s not used much these days. Tried RS which I’ve been to before but didn’t have a similar switch available

Thgis place supplied a suitable modern replacement one for a Men In Sheds.

Anything here suitable https://charnwood.net/product-category/spare-parts/by-part-type/switches/
If not then try here https://www.axminstertools.com/instantsearch/result?q=switch
If still no luck, then replace the complete unit. Search "push button starter"

Hello,
You will probably find RS have it it is just that it does not come up on the part search. Here is another supplier, it is quite a common part,
