Thanks David.
Yes, I already have an email off to Jesse, as he used to sell Inca tools and Eagle Tools is a great source. I also tried Garrett-Wade (their phone number is on a sticker on the machine, so that is where it was purchased by the previous owner) but they don¡¯t stock old parts. Thanks again. Alan

Are there safety interlocks on the machine? If not, any generic magnetic motor starter set for the appropriate motor current should be fine.

?I have an old Inca Euro-260 bandsaw - very nice small complement to my larger Felder FB600 bandsaw - but unfortunately the on/off switch died. I tried to get parts from incamachines.com in France. They are generally quite helpful, but they don't have this part because my saw is a late model US 115V version (circa 1997, Type 342.186.15) and incamachines.com only has the parts for the European models, so they couldn't help on this one. According to incamachines.com, those late 1990's machines The switch assembly is a black plastic box with red and green off/on switches actuated by square buttons, plus a place for a safety lock behind the removable blade cover. There is some electronic (early plug-in IC chips) controlled by the switches. I've confirmed that the power gets to the switches, but either the switch(es) themselves are broken or the chip(s) are fried. I've hunted around but so far no luck, and perhaps this community might know where to find a full switch assembly or compnent parts (or if anyone has a dead Euro-260 in storage and wants to sell me their switch, glad to talk more). It is such a cool little bandsaw I hate to give up on it. I haven't found a part number on this thing, but photos attached.
Thanks to all....
