I picked up a Quickie 1.1 second hand.  I couldn't pass it up!  It seems to be running well but the 3 position switch doesn't stop after three positions.  The switch can be rotated 360 degrees and never stops.  Does anyone know how to fix it so that it stops after turning it three positions in each direction?  Or should I go and buy a replacement 3 position switch for it?  I was hoping to not have to solder in a new switch, but if that's the only way to go, it's easy enough...

Thanks in advance,
Robert

There's a tabbed washer on the switch that sets the stops, as Grainger mentioned.  We can sell you a replacement switch, then you can transplant the washer to your Quickie (no need to do any soldering, the switch can be moved back from the panel and the washer installed without removing wires).
