Ok guys. ,,,, need some electrical switch help.. on my new to me, Chin Hung lathe I found that the 2speed selector switch had broken inside 5hat panel, only allowing a low speed selection. The switch pic is attached. Any ideas.

What input are you looking for?
I agree. It looks broken to me too.
Looks like it has been hit or otherwise physically damaged. It does not look like it got damaged by an electrical problem.
Which is a good thing. You can just replace it and hope everything works the way it should.

pretty standard switch, and yours is toast.

Any chance there’s a wiring diagram on the lathe?
PA stocks generic modular switches that can be configured to duplicate the existing switch.

I just grabbed the yoycart info as the first one I could find that had a switch diagram. Questions:
Does your lathe have a control box with fuses/breakers and relays?
How many wires going to the existing switch?
Might be able to work out the Princess Auto part numbers to make up a replacement switch.

I will be back in the shop a little later, going to grab you a bunch of shots.
Exactly what I've been pondering......
Through a gross misunderstanding of how a valve worked, I once set fire to a Terex Titan earthmover. $100k up in smoke.
Did you know that mid-70s Freightliners made in BC were positive ground? And a 10 amp fuse on a 5 amp short to ground will never blow? But 5 amps at 24 volt is enough to start a fire? I learned this.
Much of human ingenuity gets wasted on discovering new ways to destroy things.

This falls under "Do as I say, don't do as I do....."
If you look at the original photos in the post, they appear to be bent a bit.....
