Hi all, our old bandsaw stopped working so well. It has no torque/ power
and when you turn on the unloaded motor it sometimes runs backwards.

The thought here is that maybe a start or run capacitor had gone bad...
but we are all mostly clueless when it comes to motors. Any ideas
before I try and get the motor out.

(Oh dear.. I think it's a three phase motor... (no cap))

Maybe check the three voltages?
Or a bad motor
