The windings are not electrically separate, one of the main wires is common. One of my early thoughts was that possibly the start & run windings were swapped, but yesterday's investigations showed they were not.
The capacitor has 2 wires that go into the windings. When I connected a lamp in...
Update..
No short to the frame. Using ohm meter open circuit, or my capacitor tester, which uses moderately high voltage [100s], current limited, to check for leakage, kind of like a megger.
No load, no friction, ball bearings good, spins and coasts freely, motor sitting on the bench.

Ok, additional info - I recently got the machine. Had to go through everything to get it set up and running. I had run the motor & gearbox for a few minutes, to see how things work, etc. and noticed how hot it had become in that fairly short run. The wiring was a hack job. It had a motor...
IHi everyone,
I recently acquired a 1960's Bridgeport milling machine. The cross feed has a motor driven feed mechanism.
The motor Nameplate:

Type PA Frame 5217 H/P 1/8
Volts 208-220 Cycles 60 / 50
Amps .7 Phase 1
RPM 1725...
