Against my and others better judgement, I've been trying to keep the original three speed consequent motor for my S and 1024. The windings seemed good when checked by my motor guy but he didn't have access to 600v power so he couldn't test under power. I found an original Santon switch and wired up the motor to test and all seemed well. When I installed the motor and put it under load, the high speed didn't seem to work. The motor sounds like it is trying to drop out the 4 pole winding but doesn't and starts to warm up. Low speed which should have both windings engaged seems to work. Is there a switch inside the motor that could be replaced or am I going down a rat hole with no bottom? Dave
