Well that didn't work out too well! Blew a fuse, actually two but I don't know if one was from the first time I tried powering it up using my diagram/note. Need to find some 8amp 3ag fuses locally or order from the net

white brown should have dc voltage when on and dial at 0

I was getting power when I s tested the white and brown but only in the reverse position, nothing in the forward position, but this could have been caused by the forward position fuse being blown previously. My quest continues(soon as I source 8amp 3ag fuses.

The damage may have been done already..unfortunatly speed controls are not very forgiving,,, hopefully the fuses blew first
 
was it working/tested before it was taken appart
 
I bought a Clausing 8530 mill and this was it's power, probably 1.5 years ago. The mill was in OK shape but I decided to rebuild it, bearings, paint, etc. Got about 60% done and lucked into another 8530 in pristine condition, at this point I lost momentum on the rebuild, and I never started the motor until now when I've run into difficulties.

was it working/tested before it was taken apart? Yes, when I bought it I ran the motor and it and the controller functioned fine, no smoke or smells, etc, etc. You can see the mill as purchased here:

I have not bought fuses for it yet as the last few days have been very busy but I will try to get them asap and proceed from there.
