Looking for same; can't seem to find anything online. Anybody know of
anywhere where there's a repository of old Millers Falls doc's?

Thanks for any leads...


Followup -- success!!!!

Nothing but a broken lead to one of the brushes. It's a very old (as is
obvious being the Millers Falls brand) style w/ the rotating brushes to
control the direction instead of a reversing switch. On peculiarity is
that the switch has a pair of contacts that make/break power and another
than make continuity of the cord neutral and the second brush return
path. This had been bypassed sometime long ago and the two connected
directly by a wire nut. That set of closed contacts and the two stubs
of wire confused the issue for a while as to what was going on which is
why was looking for a wiring diagram.

But, finally opened the switch to see that indeed those two contacts
were deliberately shorted and not a switch failure and then all made
sense...
