I just have an icon on my desktop that brings up a page of special characters that I can copy and past to what I am doing.
There is no way I could remember all of the codes for them. I do well to remember to go to that page...

The 0176 code apparently does not work on Linux. I'll have to go look it up (If I can remember

).

The two bearings on the shafts can be purchased at O'riley's Auto Parts Part Number 203 FF in either the National or MasterPro Brands. These are the sealed Bearings which I would recommend. They were only 7.95 each!

Thanks for the info. I decided on the Emerson because: it is newer, it spins (by hand) more quietly, it has no capacitor (that I can see), and it was much cleaner (less sawdust) so should have heated less while running. Everything stripped from the headstock and cleaned up. Putting most of the running gear from the PowerPro upgrade back in and saving the original 70's guts for spares.

Now, should I save the single bearing quill? Is there a market for it?

It is 'inside'.

(start capacitor)

It will work as a spare/backup. (Quill)

If you want to sell that A O Smith Motor I need one for my Jointer work station would be perfect for this and I have no problem fixing the bearings my self.
