    Can anyone identify the maker of this TO machine?? It has gone bad and the location is a tough place to replace the entire TO. I'm hoping to be able to do a motor replacement. The mounting holes arrangement indicate a universal right or left handed installation.

    That's an Atlas switch machine, if I'm not mistaken. Looks like you held the button down a little too long and it overheated.

    They sell replacements on the Atlas website, or probably just about any LHS or online seller.

    Thanks for the response.

    The Atlas machine does not appear to be the same. Also Atlas marks all of their products. Mine is without any markings.

    My machine is the first image and the Atlas is the second. Not the difference in wirke mounting screws and body mounting screw holes.

    I think your original one is just an older version. It should be a direct swap.

    I agree with toner the new one should work just fine. It’s not rocket science. :tb-biggrin:

    Most likely an ASM. I got one before, but not sure if it's still in my junk box. Keep you posted as as I find it.
