Alan, Thank you for chiming in! Yes, you are right. Something was odd to get it to seize up like that. The motor mounts feel rock solid, so it must be something inside and a good cleaning and re-lubricating is in order. I was hoping to take the easy way out. You are so right, about an over current draw possibly damaging the boards. It's no crime, I got it for a great price, and right now it is operating smoothly, but if a speck of whatever is in there gets in the way again, I could be in trouble. I was thinking stiff grease, but I just now thought it could even be a small bit of something broke off and is floating around in the grease.
Thank you. I'll report back!!
Did you get to York this time? I was not able to make it. Hopefully I can go in the spring and see you again.
