All the motors tested good so I`ll do a bit of a clean up of them and reinstall them.
Then move on to the tool rest set up.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Got the motor mount/ drive plate cleaned.
 Effed up thou I used super clean and forgot how strong it is . I made the mistake of wiping the red adjustment tag when it had super clean on it and it took of a bit of the printing before I realized it. Damn it.]
 Did get the back gear leaver working thou it was a bit seized up.

Got the motor assembly back in after the sparky checked it all out, replaced the hokey power cord junction box and connected the cord directly to the machine and got a quickie freshen up of the coolant sump/pump assembly.
Sparkies coming back over and we`ll re connect everything and plug it in to do a run check with the drive belts not attached.

Sparky came over for round 2 today, got it all wired up and plugged it in....nothing.
Turns out so far 2 of these smaller fuses are bad and a transformer was wired up wrong.
Tomorrow new fuses and hit it again
