A few years ago I bought a Meddings floor standing pillar drill off ebay and proceeded to strip and repaint it. And then as with many things I get invovled with I ran out of time and it's mainly been sitting in bits waiting for re-assembly. Which I've been thinking about doing now the garage has started to get into double digits on occasion.
I did take the motor apart (A Gryphon Brooks which I think was original) and put new bearings on. But when I started to put it back together I realised the wiring is probably not up to snuff. I can't see how to easily re-wire it.
Is it possible to do this myself, or do I need to go to some strange backstreet finangler who can do this? If so how much is it likely to cost, and does anyone know one West/South Bristol?
Or will it just be easier to buy a new suitably sized device? The original didn't seem to have any form of capacitor and when I saw it run before I bought it it had to be started by spinning by hand.
Let's see if I can get pictures to work
