Definitely the deal of the week. Have a look at the safety switch as they tend to fill up with sawdust and stop working. That could have been the original trouble.

One other thing to do before you install the motor: open up the capacitor cover and write down the value (Microfarad and Voltage) for future reference.
If the starter capacitor is weak or dying, the motor will start perfectly good on the bench without a load, but when installedand driving anything with inertia or resistance (belts, pulleys, bearings, wheels, sawblade) it may not start or start very slowly. If that is the case, you will know what to go and get to fix it....Cheers,
Joe

Yeah Joe, I was planing on doing just that, as I only just had to replace the start capacitor on my 14" bandsaw a couple of weeks ago. I actually suspected that was the problem when I first seen it on ebay and was the reason I thought I would try it on the bench. But you have a valid point in that it is not under load on the bench. Maybe I should concider putting a new capacitor on it as a precaution as they aren't overly expensive.

I have spent a little time on the bandsaw today looking for any obvious problems in the electrical system. The first thing I noticed was that the spade conectors to the run capacitor were extremely loose/sloppy so I tightened them up. I also found that there was a fine dust covering the capacitors, not wood dust but a plastic or fibreglass type dust. When I pulled out the safety switch that too was covered in the same dust and there was also some more in the lower cabinet so I gave a good going over with compressed air.

It looks like PVC dust.

Rub some Trad Wax on it so it doesn't go rusty again.

Very nice pick-up mate Looking to buy an 18 inch bandy myself. The one i want is about 2K. Unless you sell me yours for 280 bucks (After you fix it up of course). Double your money - better than bustard bank interest.
