Well, I finally finished my restoration and it works great! I spent about $15 on a new switch and grounded cord and a new light fixture, $5 for a new chuck key and $102 for the motor repair. They said the internals switch needed replacing and they cleaned and checked out the bearings. I had to get the chuck key at WW Grainger. It's a cool national chain that sells just about everything. Every Jacobs Chuck has a few letters and numbers as a code and that was all I needed to get the correct key. I was at a wood working store and picked up a neat clamp for holding things tightly to the table. There are 4 speed settings by changing the belt to a different pulley but I left it on the fairly fast (maybe 1200-1500 rpm) setting. I'd mainly slow it down for drilling big holes, especially in metal.
