I replaced the switch on my 1960s Delta 14" bandsaw (the previous owner had apparently replaced the broken original switch with a house light switch). Here's the post in which you guys helped me:

Once I got everything wired up and the saw ran, I called it a victory and went inside. Well, today was a nice warm 55 degree day, and I was excited to spend some time in the garage with the new saw. I fired it up and immediately realized the something was very wrong: the blade was running backward (on the table side it was moving upward).
I tried swapping the the black and white wires that were on posts #13 and #23, but the motor still ran backward.
Help!
