Yea! I love a good ending! And if you hadn't had the problem, you wouldn't have learned as much about the machine, too! I keep acquiring broken and damaged equipment, too. Mostly because I'm too cheap to buy it all new, but hey, I'm learning about it while I fix it! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Good news. The motor mill fan cover had been compressed (presumably during shipment) such that it was binding against the fan, thus keeping the motor shaft from turning. When I went to disassemble the mill motor, I discovered the issue, set the fan cover back in place, and tested all working. Not only did I get to learn all about this tool, but it now works!!
