They sold out to a company called Amada in Canada. Oh.. the spare parts are still in the US but you have to setup an account and wander needlessly through another companies waste of time.

We had the pulse switch go out on a customer’s saw. That is a little 18mm proximity switch in the top of the saw. I replaced it with a switch that was about $125. If I didn’t need the saw, I could have replaced it for under $50. The new Marvel boys wanted $250 for the same thing. I call BS. It is a shame. Marvel was one of the great American equipment companies. Fugget about it now.
