I've got an 800 with a broken spacebar as well. Switch 57 on the Hi-Tek PN#373-70115A. Power to the switch is good, it's just broken somewhere inside of the switch. The two contacts inside the switch aren't getting power at all. I'm interested in where you found that switch you've used in your repair, as I'm having difficulty finding one like it here in the United States. Any ideas?
