New member, first time posting.
I recently purchased a SB 10x36 lathe and hope to learn a new skill/hobby. The machine was disassembled for moving and, for some reason unknown to me, the complete wiring harness and barrel switch were disconnected. So now, I'm in the process of trying to wire this thing up and have been unsuccessful so far...much to my own embarrassment. Anyway, it's a dual voltage, 1/2hp Westinghouse motor which I'd like to wire using the reversing barrel switch connected to a typical 115v outlet.
I'm pretty sure it's a capacitor motor (...right?) which I believe accounts for the extra red and yellowish wires inside the motor terminal box. I've added some pictures I hope will help provide the information needed to gain some help with wiring this motor. Lee
