Arrived slightly beat up from handling. Just a few dents, but nothing that was not fixable. I am impressed with the quality. It actually had metal gears. I thought the start solenoid PB was faulty. The company is sending a replacement. But further investigation: After further investigation I discovered that the coil connects between terminal #4 (120 vac supply) then once the PB is pushed then to termina A1. A1 needs a neutral connection to hold the contacts in. This lathe was wired incorrectly as the A1 wire went to forward reverse switch terminal 9 then to terminal 10 which connected to the supply terminal on the board. That wire connected to the F/R switch #10 should have been connected to the neutral J1 terminal on the board, not the supply. So, it appears that the original switch was not bad, only a wiring mistake at Vevor. Even their print is incorrect. Check it out!
