This (and the other switch videos) are great and super packed with info! I have an old Atlas lathe motor that I'm hoping to figure out how to wire to this kind of switch. Instead of the T I have 1,2, black, yellow, red, and green which 1 and 2 interchanged for the reserving. I think I have them figured out (or a good guess) but I need to wire it for 120v on the switch and that is tripping me up. For 120v with line 2 would need to be power and line 1 neutral as in the video? Anybody understand and can help?
Very informative. I have the same drum switch and trying to wire it into a 115v single phase. Can you help me with a diagram to wire the drum switch? In my 1/2 hp GE, the starter coil and capacitor wires are J9 black and T8 red. These are the cross switched ones. Do the other wires under the motor access panel come out to the drum switch as well? And to what terminals? I’ve wired drum switches in the past, but this green Chinese one is confusing.
Definitely one of my favorite teachers.!!
Thanks for this video as my Dewhurst with Bakelite disc and long / short steel pins may have given up 😊
Very good information. I like the step by step format.
Thank you!

Thanks I needed that. Great teacher!

Ya if you need help let me know. I plan to do a 115v video in the future but I just haven't got to it.
if you could make a video with this switch and a single phase motor would be awesome
What size wire did you use to wire it up? 12 AWG?
