The first order of business was a real live test- to put power to the motor, and with the motor,
try the clutch, gears and feeds to better evaluate the whole machine. As I noted in the first section,
a bad bearing, bent main shaft or damaged gear could have easily turned this whole works into scrap.
I started by removing the belt covers and undoing the belts- I wanted to try the motor first, without
any drag from the headstock. Plus I wanted to test the electricals before spinning any gears,
just in case there was a bad bearing or something in there.
