My '90 SP-36 has a bad contactor in the AC transfer switch. The switch was made
by Todd Engineering, now out of business. The contactor has their name on it
with a part # TES-350. Does anyone here know the manufacturer and perhaps a
cross reference? I've been Googling for two hours with no success.

Thanks

Paul,

I had to replace my transfer switch and somehow, Ryan at Mr. Olivers managed to find the proper circuit board. His number is 972-562-8008. Also, Ralph Fullenwider knows where to get replacements.

Hi Paul:

I put a replacement AT switch info on the Forum in the Parts folder I
believe. It is made my Lyght Systems. The contractors in the Todd looked to
be Cutler Hammer and the contacts in those are replaceable but I had never
found a rebuild kit for them. The rebuild kits would be a set of contacts,
and new spring with a keeper. From experience in electrical pannels, if one
set has arced then the other is ready as well.

The guts of the Lyght unit is identical to the Todd but the box is larger
so I swapped boxes and it is a good retrofit.

Safe travels,

Thanks Mike, I just put XP on my old computer and of course have not got
everything back in yet, including parts.

Thanks Brad, Ralph & Mike for the help. I ended up taking the contactor apart
and honeing the contacts. Works great but for how long, I know not.
