One of the (older, if that is not redundant) woodworking club members has a 'vintage' RAS that he wants to pass to a son. Apparently, it's not running now. I asked him to look for a reset button somewhere on the motor (usually red). Another place to check is the switch. I have a non-contact voltage detector that I can use to check wiring and switch. And I have a VOM. Beyond that, I'm stretching my knowledge.
Is there any other thing to check that's a common problem? I have not seen it yet, so don't know the age, mfr, or model.
