Bought a Robot Coupe R2B food processor at a Thrift for $6. Safety Switch would not engage with the Bowl or Lid in place. If the Safet Switch was manually activated the motor ran fine. Problem was the rubber gasket had deteriorated and needed replacing. Cost of part $2.90 and Shipping $10....disassembled the unit replaced part and now it works like a champ.

I had bought two VitaMix Blenders one mdl 5000 the other a 5200 for $10 with a brand new Dry Blender Jar. Both units had the Poteniometer variable speed switch go bad. A very common occurrence on Vitamix blenders. Bought the replacement parts for 17.00 each for them . Disassembled the units and replaced the parts and now they both work like champs... I will probably sell the VM 5000.
