I went to buy a vintage B&D Workmate off CL this evening and before I left with the workmate the PO gave me a Delta 37-190 6" jointer. It looks to be in pretty good shape cosmetically. Doesn't look used & abused. Tables have minimal flash rust. He wasn't sure it worked and it appears it doesn't work after trying to turn the motor on once I got it home. Nothing when I hit the switch. I did notice when plugging it in that the ground prong had been snapped off inside the electric plug when I plugged it in. Question: Are these motors set up such that they won't work if the ground is missing? I'm skeptical about that but that would sure be the simplest fix. Anyway, just wondering how you guys would proceed trying to figure out if this thing is broken big time or just something simple?
PS I'll get some better pics tomorrow if needed.
Thanks, Mike
