I had some trouble a few weeks ago with the spindle not starting with the ELSR lever on my 43 round dial. I was told to check the microswitches in the housing on the headstock, and both of them tested fine. After putting everything back together I realised that the lever on top of the housing had been in neutral the whole time, and moving it to right or left fixed the problem (I felt more than a little stupid). I went back to it this past weekend, and once again, no go, this time I know the lever was not in neutral. My first thought is that it is likely either the microswitches (although they tested fine a few weeks ago) or the contactors in the DC panel. My real question is what might cause both forward and reverse to go out at the same time? It just doesn't make much sense to me for either both of the microswitches or both the contactors to go out at the same time. I won't be able to look at it again until this weekend, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
