To the kind members who attempted to assist this retired cop-turned neophyte lathe operator and electrician: I asked for help in replacing my worn out Jet 9X20 spindle switch with a Grizzly G4000 switch. Since the Grizzly runs both a start and run capacitor, I was unable (even with adult guidance) to figure out how to make it work. I broke down (and "broke" is the word) and took the motor, both new and old switches, and all the wiring diagrams I had to a local motor specialist and he figured out how the motor was wired and sold me a very cool looking drum switch. It is now. Installed and my old Jet is up and. Running great. Thanks to all who pitched in.
