Hi everyone,
I picked up a K&T No.1 18-AC over the holidays. I didn't get to power it up before I bought it, but things seemed to move freely enough and I was given assurances that I could return it if I wasn't happy. I was happy when I got it powered up and the motor worked, and the spindle turned. The third time I powered it up I tried the table feed. It did feed, in the super slow range. When I moved the handle to change the feed speed and tried traversing the table nothing happened. When I looked up I saw that the spindle wasn't turning anymore. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions what/where I should look for? Right now I have the pulley&bracket removed. Yesterday I tried removing the feed&rapid traverse bracket to no avail. It was loose and an eighth of an inch away from the column but wasn't moving any further.
Here's a couple pics, because pics are good! As you can see the table feed is a little bit different on this machine.
Thanks!!
