Really like this cool green color Here is that handle that is the wrong color but I'm working on that. Wanted to also thank the folks that I have talked with for thier help in advice on parts and polishing and overall support.

@ Chris
You might find that harvesting a motor from another DS-50 or 80 could be an acceptable alternative. That can be much cheaper than buying a brand new motor. I'm wondering though if one of the bearings is just seized. Also, have you noticed a green residue anywhere on the motor housing. That would indicate arching on the commutator, which is definitely a sign of a bad motor. You might also test the continuity of the each field on the commutator and the motor field itself. Otherwise, I can't imagine what the problem would be either.

Yep, sounds like that safety switch has had it, if the wires are loose, they're arcing and would produce just what you described, just needs replacing which is a pretty easy job, instructions are provided here in this link: CLICK HERE TO GO TO twocvbloke's LINK on eBay | ||
