power draw off the mains , hi/lo works and boost works all up to full mains
but pos 1 has problems. I used a variac of course initially and pos 1 was
going in reverse at 30 percent mains, at full tilt as though on 5. At 50
percent mains for half a second, no motion, nasty buzz and mains draw of
over 1 amp. Where to go from here , I assume pos 1 is not reverse or it
would be marked R, what have I miswired ? Time to delve into the handle and
its switches

Stamp an R over the 1 and call it quits.
