Hi, I just responded to an old post asking where to get a replacement JD2 NVR switch. They're no longer made, so I've made a short video on how I refurbish the one on my planer/thicknesser. It's kept it going for several years since the switch first failed. You can see it here...

I've uploaded a short video on how to refurb this part. Hope that helps some of you. http://youtu.be/cDsBx2A5lHY

Hi Peter, I am also looking for this part, or at least the solenoid switch component from inside the control box. Did you have any luck? I have repaired the switch twice (cleaning up the internal contacts, which must spark a lot given the state they get into) but having a spare would allow me...
