Thanks Gerald,

All a little too late, as you suggested, I think there was something
in the switch that went with the relay. When I tried a conventional
DPDT switch, got 18 Amp draw to the motor and shortly thereafter, more
smoke. Ahh well. It served it's life well.

In fact I bought this at a HF sidewalk sale the used to have twice a
year at Thousand Oaks. It had dropped-damage and I got it for about 15-
bucks as I recall. I also bought one of the 4-1/2" x 7" bandsaws with
drop-damage for 50-bucks, and it still goes today. It must have done
5,000 hours and still it keeps on keeping on.

So much for those HF knockers, some of their stuff is good, not all,
but some. {grin}

Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Dave
