The motor does, in fact, work. Smokes like a big dog, but doesn't smell like hot electricity, so I'm assuming old oil and dust. And the wires are still bare (I've got it sitting on a rubber pad, just in case), so a rewire is definitely still planned. Also, under power, the belt is stiff and keeps jumping off the pulley end of the motor. I know I've got an extra 'one size fits most' belt around somewhere; I'll have to see if it fits. I'll douse it in oil again and let it sit overnight-it's still got a sticky spot that I can feel. Tomorrow I'll thread it and see if it sews!
