I say you are correct. Now another option may be to part the number collar from the knob. Add a setscrew to the number collar and figure a way to attach...

Dan,
A quick measurement would be a low resistance measurement on the bad board between the terminals that have the purple motor wire and the black...

Chris,
I would take that cross slide knob and dial apart and see what you really have there. I am not a South Bend person, but every South Bend...

Jerry, PLEASE don't get him started 🤐....

If shattering is a concern, just wrap with electrical tape or a piece of adhesive lined heat shrink. Issue avoided!!

Chris,
A "Form Tool" is a custom lathe tool ground to the inverse shape of what you want the final part to be. You grind the tool yourself...

Very interesting Jerry! I/We never considered that. It really did not matter as we were only looking for problem issues and there was only experience...

I'm just thinking while watching the snow here... The plug gap closing could be stresses relieving as the plug got hot allowing the electrode to move....

I just saw a piece on the Seattle news that said that ALL Blackberry phones would go dark tomorrow 1-4-2022. I do not think the WiFi would quit working...

I will agree on one and only one point you make with an exception: the VFD removes the need to switch gears or belt ratios by over 90%. Exception: IF...
