Shop Vac

I just replaced the switch on my Shop-Vac QPL60 with a switch from

It's a DPST mini rocker switch - $3.89

My original wouldn't shut off without unplugging.

There's nothing fancy or proprietary about shop vac switches. As long as you have one that will mount in the casing and will handle the current, it'll work. Most hardware stores will have switches that will work. I think Radio Shack still carries an assortment, too.

I second that. I replaced mine with a standard wall switch about 15 years ago and it's still working fine. Art

I'll third that. if you have access to a Radio Shack most have a wide variety of switches and you might find a close match. Otherwise just get one that works. Also, they are pretty reasonable.

I don't know if you have been in Radio Shack recently but it has become almost an electronic novelty shop. I went into the one here in Raleigh and they had a free standing shoulder high wall about 4' wide with the electronic components.

Yeah - But it depends on the store. There is one in Wichita and another in Joplin that have pretty well stocked sets of parts drawers. Others barely amount to a kiosk.
