Well, the change to a capacitor control has some appeal. I suspect that if
I could find the right switch for this thing it would be as good as new.
The replacement switches at the hardware store say they are for 3 or 4 wire
applications; however, there is no drawing to show how to hook up the three
wire system. All the combinations I've tried so far have yielded less than
desirable results. It might be about time to trace all the wiring and try
to figure out what makes it tick.
Thanks to all who have responded.
