I have a dilemma! As some of you may know, I have a Parnell TenTen, which has a broken switch. I did hard wire it to the mains cable so it ran, and then sort of forgot about it as it languished in my mums loft. I'm working my way through my existing vacs, rather than buy more, and it has appeared at the front of the pile! (I bought it home as it as the only non turbopower cleaner at mums, and I want some sort of order, and it keeps getting forgotten about not being in my loft!)
Doug Smith very kindly posted me an airtight, correct colour hose a few years ago (it was that which prompted me to get it down tonight, I had to move the hose to find something else and thought why the hell dont I do something about the machine!), so the only thing left to fix is the switch.
I was going to (and it's still plan b) butcher an Electrolux switch to fit (it fits, but I'd need to get creative to secure it in place), but then I thought, would a 120v american switch from it's Eureka cousin fit and work on UK 240V? If so, would anyone mind possibly posting one out to me?
It's a rectangular switch body, 4 pole (1 connector on each corner), which turns round as it exits the body of the machine to under the foot operated pedal. clamped together with 3 tiny bolts, and a metal ring. If possible, I would need the whole shebang as mine was broken when I got it.
I don't have the switch anymore, but would be able to advise if correct if anyone had a picture of any switches? The machine is as the picture!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd pay the shipping and for the switch of course, and then do a lovely detailed rebuild thread on the whole thing, as it's due it's time!
