pushed a few times same result, held it in and pulled the spindle lever one, spindle turns, wrong direction. Pushed the spindle motor switch, it turns up but once you let go the switch it kicked out. hit the coolant switch and the coolant pump works fine!! turned it of, got a new plug on end, plugged it in, turned the breaker on. Ok, open the panel to figure voltage it needs, had a 120/208 plug on the end of the cord, first thing English electronics are about the worst you can find, well Italian is further behind them! there is transformer that takes 240/480 in and drops out 24 volt for the controls, the coolant pump is 240 and on its one line from line service, so figure 240 is good. the lathe has been repainted, but it is in very nice shape, no wear on ways! when he finally admitted what he paid for it, I just hung my head and wondered, very cheap lets say, they told him it had transmission problems, and that the machinist still used it periodically as it was stuck in the speed he needed? Goerge went and got the lathe, brought it over to my shop for e to fix it for him, I always like a new challenge! it showed up with a brand new high end 3 jaw chuck! aloris wedge tool post, and an interchangeable nose live center. My buddy George has been working on this deal for a few years, it finally bore fruit and he is the proud papa of a Graziano Sag 12 lathe.
