Schaublin SV52 milling machine, main spindle motor assembly and testing

I realized I had to clean up inside the column and dig into the motor(s). Now it has been done, and the motors are reassembled and tested in place. The "trigger" to get going with the motors now was the need to get the feed working so I could move the knee up and down without hand cranking. Then one thing led to the other..

I decided to clean and install the bigger ball bearings again. To me they seemed OK, and in case I will have to replace, I now know how to. For example, it turned out to be easier to remove, diss-assemble, re-assemble and install the large spindle motor than first anticipated, so if/when need arises, I will have no fears..

I also decided not to paint the motors now, but I may have 2nd thoughts later because I saw the frame etc. for the main motor was in dire need really. Well, that should be an easy one now if I get the lust for it..
