1199vsr quit

[chris]

I was drilling holes in concrete and the drill quit instantly. The switch is okay and the brushes look alright. I took the drill completely apart to look at the armature and field to check for heat damage. It didn't look to have any. Any ideas?

Chris,

My drill has a similar issue and I found that it shorted internally and burned the tab off the switch contact (part 74 above) where it connects to the field. It worked intermittently since the contact was still close enough to the terminal to occasionally male contact. My issue now is that I cannot get the armature out of the drill to remove the field and repair the terminal.
