Welcome to OCC.
I also have an early 80's CCC built 782 (but it has the cast iron IH rear end; a leftover from the sellout). It has had intermittent switch issues as well. Just saying that to let you know you're not alone.
I'm sad that you're at that stage of life where your dad had to go into a care facility, but glad to hear that you kept the 782. Lots of helpful people here. Don't be like me, if you have a problem or question, try to post a picture or two when asking about it. It makes the answers a lot easier for those trying to help.
