Is it a mercury switch? Not sure if you can just off the shelf that - for that machine/treadle but I wouldn’t see why not if it is a mercury switch.

That's what I thought but it sounds like there's something rolling back and forth inside. My expirence with mercury switches is you can't hear it moving but I could me wrong

Also, you will need to cut the ring terminals off, solder longer wires on to reach the junction box, and then put waterproof heat shrink over the connections. Tinned wire is better to prevent corrosion. Super Wash may also have it with the longer leads already on them. 815-772-2192
