Thanks for your interest
The lathe Is a small model makers lathe " Myford "
Probably 60 / 70 years old which I reconditioned about 1973
It was flat leather belt drive which I converted to V belt
Driven by washing machine motor only 2 Wires came out of this motor
Earth was just Grounded to the motor and bench frame

There are/were three basic types of motors used in W.M.'s Universal (brushed). Standard 1ph induction motor, and most recently the Fisher & paykel AC brushless outrunner.
It sounds as though you have one of the Universal motors, these were speed controlled by a Motorola TDA1085 IC.

i would use an ohm meter, measure the resistances of the windings, bet you have a tappeded winding possibly the black,grey,brown, and seperate white windings, if so connect the windings in series with the brushes, to make a universal motor, the tapped winding is for increased speed.

Could you possibly do a quick sketch of how to wire it up
I am not to sure of what you mean by ( in series with windings )
Through the brush wires and then the windings ?
