Good day to all. First time posting on this forum. Have been woodworking for 50+ years. Early years spent making furniture and cabinetry. Started wood turning about 15 years ago on a Stubby 750 but still keep my hand in the game regarding other types of woodworking. Just finishing up kitchen remodel, including 5/4" hickory tongue and groove floor, custom baseboard (made from trees on property), alder cabinets, and all the structural, electrical and plumbing to go with it.
Main reason I am posting is that I was given Blue Hawk router model 1311.2 from a friend who said it quit working. Investigation revealed burnt contact leading from power cord into top circuit board, which cannot be easily repaired due to conformal coating on board. Looking for replacement board but unable to find any parts source. Research indicates Lowe's may be possible avenue but not hopeful. Thought I'd try this forum to see if anyone had a "basket case" Blue Hawk router of this type from which they might have a "donor" circuit card they were willing to provide/sell to see if I can make this little "cheapie" function again. If no donor available, anyone know of another possible source?
Appreciate assist.
