I posted this in Antique Machinery and was advised to move it here. I have a '60's Delta Jointer that has some issues with the motor. Its a Wagner Electric 1/2 hp type RA, model J-3657. Can't find much on the web on them, what I did find was on the PM forum so here I am.
I'm running it on 110V, it had a regular plug on it when I got it. When it starts it runs slower than normal for like 5-10 seconds, then kicks up to normal speed for a few minutes, then shuts down. It won’t restart immediately, like it has to cool off? It running through an Allen-Bradly on-off switch. There is no wiring diagram on the motor, but the switch has one.
I'm not too bad with mechanical stuff but I'm out of my depth here - thanks in advance for any help!
