    Boxford TCL160 Spindle motor wire identification.

    I have a Boxford TCL160 benchtop lathe which I am converting.

    I notice that the 'Spindle motor' has two light blue wires in the motor harness, they are marked 11 & 12.
    These are in addition to the usual wires STF,STR etc etc.

    Anyone help please ?

    I think those are for the thermal switch or thermistor in the motor.

    Quite possibly Jim, I hadn't considered that.
