Yesterday, I was turning in the garage, temp. about 90, and the lathe
suddenly slowed way down. My first thought was a brown-out, but
everything else ran to proper speed.

Motor case was very hot to the touch. This AM the lathe runs but
hand friction on the wheel can stop it with little effort.

So, did I cook the motor?

If I replace the motor, should I replace the capacitor as well?

I had the selfsame experience (as did Mac Davis) with my Jet Mini,
back in February, I think it was. It was only two months old and the
motor fried. How old is yours?

Mine was a replacement for another (blue) Jet mini that I had turned
thousands of hours on. I'm thinking they must have gotten a bad run
of motors, because not only have I heard the identical story from a
number of people, but Jet doesn't currently have any replacement
motors and has since at least December, when I tried to get one to
replace the motor on my old mini.
