Just before Thanksgiving, I bought this lathe from a local pawnshop for $200.00.
I tested the lathe before buying it and it worked ok, the only thing was turning the variable speed down to off the motor would slowly keep rotating until you shut off the main power. The knob was broken so I went to Radio Shack and bought another one. Over this past weekend I finished the base and set the lathe up plugged it in turned it on rotated the variable speed and nothing. So I checked the AC outlet ok, the power connections threw out the lathe including brushes ok, removed the potentiometer and it was not ok. Went back to Radio Shack and bought a B10K Linear-Taper Potentiometer (The B= Linear-Taper). Soldered the 3 wire connector on. I also cleaned out all the sawdust with canned air that was in the motor, and covering the circuit board. Put it all back together and still nothing. I have checked the voltage at the main line ok, at the circuit board I am getting a reading but it is very low.
This is what I am thinking that I should replace the circuit board and replace the Potentiometer with the exact Potentiometer from Sears because that one is switched.
I can't find any information about this model on the Internet except for this

I would be grateful for any help or suggestions
The wood lathe is assembled with motor, speed control IC,
gear box and wiring installed as an integral part of the headstock assembly.
The 90 Volt DC motor has the following specifications:
Horsepower (Maximum Developed) ................... 2
Voltage (D.C.) .................................. 90
Amperes …................................... 12
Hertz …..................................... 60
Phase….................................. Single
RPM ….............................. 2000-10000 (Potentiometer and Circuit Board)
Rotation (viewed from left side)............... Clockwise
