This isn't exactly the same but I remember when the motor of my 12" belt drive table saw quit. I was really torn up. I needed this saw badly. I had multiples of others but not this table saw. So I made some calls and went online. DAMN THEY WERE EXPENSIVE... and I didn't have the money to put out for a replacement. So for a month or longer I built nothing. Finally I took the motor in to a shop to see if they could bring it back to life. They took it in the back and came right back out and said its a great motor... NOTHING WRONG! I went home, re-mounted and found out the on/off switch was bad.
I wasn't even mad at all.... very happy. Felt a little stupid (was) but still happy.
Maybe your machine will arrive today (Sunday) right in the middle of your football game.... NOW YOU GOTTA CHOOSE!!!!
Hell.... Come on down. You can borrow my XLT and I'll put ya on some 10,000 year old horseshoes.
