Can anyone snap a pic of the underside of the controller. I think I see where the wires were but I don't know which was which. I have a neutral/white and ground/green to connect.

I found a pic online of one with a harness and a pic of the reverse side. Perfect! If anyone else ever needs it, it'll be here.
Ok it's running properly and I didn't even get zapped lol Had the ground on and when I switched it on unplugged it was showing connected to the neutral. So I pulled the ground because in the 1 diagram I saw it had no ground. Now I can setup the machine!

File comment: You can see where I pulled the ground out. I guess it just bypasses the switch. wiringmdr.jpg [ 116.58 KiB | Viewed 724 times ]
Thats what I was thinking, I was looking for a piece that is close but I don't really have anything that's close so I'll probably just go for it once I'm comfortable on the new machine.

Here is a copy of an old article of times past and of the original USFG newsletter. Which was and is a fantastic source of all things faceting and more, well worth the small membership fees. It is a very detailed and precise view of aligning a machine like yours. All credit goes to Mr. Paul Head and the Old Pueblo Lapidary Club.
Thanks Greg, I think she's calibrated pretty well. I went through and did almost the same thing when I got the graves also. That one held true for basically the entire time I owned it. Still working on a test stone. Had to fix the water catch so it sat up high enough and it needed a girdle slot. Not the original I'm guessing but it works for now. I need a good lower grit lap, it should help prevent the initial fracturing so I used one of the really thin copper ones I just got and loaded it with 240 mesh diamond paste, used a piece of kunzite to work it in. Ran well, way better than the electro-plate topper I was using. I'm going to get a thicker one, this copper lap is as thin as they come but good for a test at the very least. I used oil instead of water this time also. No fractures so far, so I will probably go this route for lower grits. Any recommendations on powder/paste or oil? The paste I'm using came with the machine but it's almost gone and looks really old. I used wd40 for testing but I don't know if that's ok to use all the time or not. Thanks again for the instructions!
Spiraling now, I must have missed it earlier or it came off when I had the speed up. I've been messing with it forever now. Keep thinking I have it but I don't. Each time I test a step cut it's off. I adjusted the three set screws holding down the bearing house but I don't think that worked I can't really tighten them down any more now any way. I tried the mast as well and that hasn't worked so far. I tried a few different laps and it isn't that. Slanted no matter what. Bleh, I know I'll get it eventually but it's frustrating lol.
