Heya! I've been struggling with this old craftsman variable speed motor. I've torn it completely apart and put it back together and determined it has to be something in the circuit board not letting it start. The armature spins freely maybe a little drag. When I turn the switch it will rotate half a turn the flip the overload protection. I cant see any burn marks or other damage to the board. I'm kind of lost at this point expecially as this motor is before my time. I am pretty new at circuits I'm a mechanic by trade not a electrician . Any help would be greatly appreciated! If more pictures needed i can post. Thanks in aadvance!! If post not allowed i appologize.
