Opened up the body of the polisher and replaced the defective switch. Quick easy repair. Used the surgical clamp to grip the 3 wires and pull them from the switch.

Speed switch was bad. Screw that holds head to shaft broken
Removed side cover. Remove speed switch. Wires have a contact attached on end - they just pull out. Respect the order of the wires/ switch orientation and insert ends into respective locations. Screw side cover back on.
On removing a broken screw -be sure to drill centered,all the way thru,use penetrating oil
