Sorry for the rookie question but I'm trying to get this lathe running for a friend. Turns out it's 220 single phase, which we've stepped down from 460 with a transformer. Machine seems to turn on, ON light comes on, fan runs. Manual is 1972, machine is 1969 so the spindle control lever is not where the manual says it is. I assume it's the lever in pic #1. This machine has the "electric leadscrew reverse" so the lever does not connect to a drum switch. There are 3 switches on the tailstock end that engage the motor apparently. The spindle will not start. Am I missing something on the start-up procedure? TIA.
