Can you not take it to a sears repair dealer and maybe get it warranted?

Router only had 1 year warranty from date of purchase. I have had it probably 10 years even though I just got it out of the box for the first time. Beyond that, the craftsman brand has been sold once or twice. From what I have seen even years ago Sears was telling people they didn’t repair them. Additionally the part I would need is obsolete/discontinued and is no longer made. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the diagram. Things seem very different between the two. I have attached a photo below (assuming it attaches)
Here is what I think I know.
White and Black from cord go to connectors on board.
Green / Yellow go to the switch
Two heavier gauge Browns seem to go to brushes
Lite gauge white, brown, and blue drive leds
The board is encased so I can’t really see the circuitry.
I measured the voltage as well. With the switch off, measuring between pairs (all are white + other color) I saw.
White/Black. 120V
White/Yellow. 120V
White/Brown-1. 120V
White/Green. 0V
White//Brown-2. 0V
With switch on I see
White/Green 120V
White/Brown-2. —low voltage
So my guess is that the circuit (in theory) controls the voltage on the white/brown-2 pair.
I was thinking that jumping the green to the brown-2 may work but at least the first attempt didn’t.
To help with pic:
Brown 1 is on top
On bottom the wires are green, yellow, black, 2 lite gauge white, White (from cord), and then Brown-2
Still searching for ideas, this router works for a while then stops has allowed me to ruin a few pieces of wood at this point…

Thanks. I would have thought that connecting the green to the second brown (green only had voltage when switch was on) would have worked similar to connecting browns as you mentioned - but leaving the switch in the circuit. Maybe I need to try it again or convince my wife I should just get new router.
