Re: anyone have electronic testing meter?
What kind of testing would it need? You turn it on and it turns, you turn it off and it stops, right?

Re: anyone have electronic testing meter?
 yeh it turns but seems a little weak on larger turning. I think it may have a weak capacitor. I blew all the dust out of it and it seems fine now, so there may not be a problem. I would just feel better about selling it if I knew it was right. I have been playing with a larger machine and it may be that I got used to more power!  half HP isnt a lot. I turned a pen on it the other day and it did fine, but it didnt do all that well with an 8" bowl a few weeks ago. [ before I blew the dust out of it ]

Re: anyone have electronic testing meter?
I have a multi tester, but other than checking if the motor is shot, I do not know what else you can or could do to test a motor. Hopefully someone with some experience will reply.

Re: anyone have electronic testing meter?
hello,
look at the capacitors you may have one oil can cap and a electrolitic cap. most of the time the mechanical switch inside the motor can get wood dust on the contacts. yyou can use a little emory cloth or 400 grit sandpaper and make sure the contacts are clean. the springs and the rotory switch is on the rotor, make sure they are clean and move freely. you can lube them with a light spray of silicone lubricant.
i worked on these motors for years, if you have any questions let me know. if you are close to charlotte i can stop by and check it out for you.
thank,s
curt
