Should have chimed in sooner, George... 
It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get parts for those things. They are not meant to be serviceable. You really are just better off buying a new one.

Actually I could have ordered parts from Sears
My experience is that the companies refuse to service the units and just prefer to replace them. There isn't much to them besides a chain and a motor anyways. I can recall my Dad replacing the motor on the one we had when I was really little, but that was like 20 years ago...
I have a pair of old Sears units at my house that could use some help. I'll take your advise and see if I can order some parts instead of replacing them... Thanks for the tip, George!

Really? That surprises me... Even the circuit boards and such?

Sears parts
The Circuit board was $ 50.00, I wasnt sure that was the problem either and the whole thing was nasty inside anyway.
