Hi all,
Would anyone be willing to put me right on a few things? I have VERY little electrical knowledge by the way, so I apologise for my terminology...
So, I recently acquired a beautiful old drill press which I have mechanically restored. However the motor is tired.. it was completed rust-welded solid, the drill had lived under a lean-to, nonfunctional for at least 10 years. I've managed to separate it and give it a clean up but I'm sure it needs rewinding. I can see some broken strands, also there is currently a bolt driven into the windings.. also the connection leads are all useless

, the 4 that are still there anyway. The shaft has some pitting, is that a problem?

I'll see if I can get some photos up.
Thanks in advance.

The photos after uploading don't seem to have the same resolution..
The right 3 terminals on the motor are U, V, W from the bottom upwards. The left side is, Z, X, Y from the bottom up.
 
The motor has 6 terminals to be marked (in the service center) eg: 1U; 1V; 1W; 2U; 2V; 2W or otherwise with the mandatory external wiring diagram.
Something like on this wiring diagram.
This would make connecting the motor to the switch much easier.
I guess, your switch probably has 3 positions, either 1-0-2 or 0-1-2. Is that correct?
Or 5 positions, for both directions?
