was it wired and fused for higher voltage, and then rewired for lower
voltage?

We recently purchased a used Clausing 2277 for the shop, today half an
hour to quitting time, it blew a couple fuses in the control box... Upon
inspection, it looks like the bottom of the variable speed pulley is
rubbing the top of the spindle pulley.

Is this a case where the operator just cranked it up to 'fast plus' and
opened these pulleys too far, or is there supposed to be some sort of shim
or stop in there to keep these from touching? I can try to walk it to a
slower speed in the AM, without the motor running that will be fun...
Upon inspection, the top cover looks a little 'home made' this thing may
have been sold off for a reason...

Clausing doesn't seem to have downloadable manuals, we'll try to get one
in the AM, but any informed ideas would be very welcome.

Hope the fuses are reasonably cheap.

I find it hard to believe that just running the variable speed to the limit
would cause a problem. I would check the motor over, and make sure the fuses
are the right size.
