I have a Peerless 1/2 hp moter which can be wited for 115-230. There is a L1 an L2, an L3, and L4. There is also a C2 and a wire that does not have a label (I am guessing it is C1). I have attached a pic. The red, green, and yellow go to the switch.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance

Lucknowken, I have a Logan 825 10" lathe that dates (as per the serial number) back to 1948-49. I did myself a favor and took the motor to a electric motor shop (friend of mine) who got the motor set up for 115v and helped me wire it to a barrel switch. Now it time to start learning...
My next venture is to find a couple of pieces for the tool post (old style Armstrong).
Thank you for you input

Hi Cap n Glad to here you have your Logan running. The wires on my 115v lathe motor are all labeled (as yours are) and wired to a stock drum switch. I was no help because currently my lathe won't reverse and the capacitor is in need of renewal. Good luck on your toolpost.
