I have a copy of 9-6115-642-24P in my files, but the information should be the same on this part. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?175591-MEP-803A-All-the-TM-s-you-need
No sweat... people read the word 'jet' and suddenly think $$ fuel costs.

"It's time to make the donuts", as the locals say. Is this machine the green one I see down past Mashpee? Ive sold many 802s over the years at 2850... but definitely not lately.
If corrosion was the concern, you (or the new owner) should really take some Deoxit and flush that and all of the other multiposition switches in the machines (requires the cover coming off). If it was corrosion, you just temporarily made it work again. The Deoxit should clean the contacts much...
Knowing what info is in each of the manuals will aid you greatly in the future for quick troubleshooting, or identification of parts required. They can be overwhelming for a new owner, but almost everything you need to know, is contained in their pages.

If I didnt already have the log cradle, 10" fan, and some other things... thats what I would have done. Lord knows my garage sucks in New England winters trying to wrench on these things. Considering changing up the input wiring or maybe terminating to a locking wall plug, so I can use the load...
