Restoration with a difference.

My restoration plan is going to be my old Vic Marc Lathe that I have. Because it recently decided to die and a new capasitor has not fixed the problemso will drop my motor into the shop this week. While it is all pulled apart I thought it would be a great time to take it back to scratch and repaint it and just fix it up in general. Does anyone have any idea where I should start regarding removing the old paint and respraying it back in the proper colour. This is certainly not my area of expertise if I had one that is :)

I look forward to any help

Cheers Ian

Hi Ian,
Any chance of some pictures? How did you decide it was the motor that had failed and not elsewhere in the circuit? I have ended up with some good cheap machines because of other simple issues I tracked down and avoid the cost of motor repair/replacement?
Cheers,
Nick
