Been trying to find a source for the felt washer that is on the switch mechanism shaft in a Tri Co vacuum motor. Anyone have a source? Guess I can try to make one.

Couple of hole punches & a piece of felt , should be easy.

Ray is right...Hay Ray...I grew up in Fletcher Hills in the 1950's. Was over for the Big Three Swap Meet and could not believe how the area has changed...used to sail on Mission Bay out of Mission Bay Yacht Club with an ancient pre war Lighting # 1675. Ernie in Arizona

Ernie, We're on the edge of Fletcher Hills in La Mesa and, yes, you can't recognize some areas at all. This was the last Big 3, started going to them in the 70's at Hillcrest sears, then to El Cajon Sears & Cajon Speedway & finally to Jack Murphy (now Qualcom) Stadium for the last 20+ years. We also used to sail on Mission bay but in a 19' Prindle catamaran. Life's still good with old cars.
