I bought a P9 recently. It is equipped with a 4 speed gear box and an electric controller. The controller was made by Control System, Inc. of Greenville, SC. The gear box is a cylindrical housing that appears to be part of the motor and has the gear selector box (rectangular) mounted directly above it. There are similar gear box arrangements from Limatrol or Lima Motor Co. They are not exactly the same.
When the machine was being moved, the 16 wire control cable was pulled out of the top of the box and 4 wires became dislodged from the terminal strip. They are white, purple, red and black insulated. There are only 3 open screws on the T.S. 14,15, and 16. there is a punching cabled G for ground. One of the wires may have been on that punching with a second wire??
Next 2 pictures are of the ends of the 16 wire cable. Note the white with black tracer wire scabbed onto the green/ red. Not sure if that was intentional or a quick fix???
Mr. C has been a great help, but his machine has a Limatrol box and is different from the Control Systems box.
If anyone could take a picture of the controller box end of that cable, it would be very greatly appreciated. See pictures. Worth thousand words...
AND.....YES I know. S#!tcan the motor for a new inverter rated motor and a VFD with a foot pedal. I will someday. I just would like to get this thing running, first.
