My Orion 2800DC rotator stopped rotating and was stuck at one of the limits.
I had the controller upgraded by M2 but the problem remained.
I now have the motor on the bench and it appears that one of the limit 
switches is bad.
Anyone know where (or if) I can get one locally?
The switches are marked Cherry Electrical, Type E34, 15A 1/2 HP. They 
are known as snap type switches.
I have found them at one electronics supplier online and will probably 
be able to get them sent from M2 tomorrow, but was wondering what kind 
of local supplier might have them or if there is an equivalent.
