(ET) 1A contactor needed--was lost speeds 2 and 3

[tbamc <tbamc gbta net>]

In my attempt to get the middle and high speeds back in my E12, I've 
found that apparently contactor 1A is bad.  The coil measures 36V when 
in speed 2 and the large lugs read 1.5V, even after removing and 
cleaning all contacts.   Also checked the resistors up front, and 
cleaned all those contacts.  .  I'm GUESSING that if I have 36V at the 
coil, and don't have ZERO V at the leads to the resistors, my contactor 
is bad?  Bypassed the contactor completely and now have what appears to 
be speed 3.  Previously I had tried pressing the power pulse button when 
the lever was in the high speed position and the motor was turning at 
low speed but this made no change.  I would have thought this was 
equivalent to bypassing the 1A contactor?  (PP button checked OK.)

I know I can get a new contactor, but if someone's got a good used one 
for less, my wallet would prefer that.  :-)

Thanks.
