Default Re: Help getting Motor to Run on TK20

I have also measured the resistances on my motor and they measure the same and am pleased to report that after changing the motor cap (original one is leaky), I have connected the motor directly to a variac and an isolation transformer and it’s happily turning gently. So at least the motor is good. Of course the next step would be to figure out the issue with this auto stop relay as it’s probably stuck to open. I think the transformer is hood as I measured HT voltage however the motor does not get a feed from the transformer.
I took some photos of my machine in action as it stands and showing the mod I had to make to connect the two caps I hade in stock connected in parallel to give me 1.2uf.
Thanks for all your help. Much appreciated.
