Purchased a 7,2years ago and played with it some! Purchased a Jointer and Bandsaw off Ebay and moved to a new house all about the same time and now I am ready to settle in and start using it but the speed changer stopped
changing speeds and so I decided to take apart but now I see and hear from the forum that waxing and checking belts and such is proper maintainence!
Could use a detailed view of reassembly and maintainence actions needed!!
Thanks so much and looking forward to putting it back together!!

First question is: What condition is the plastic control cam in!
Then have you lubricated all them disassembled parts?
Last but not least, either enable receipt of e-mails in your profile, or post yer e-mail address. Somebody
might be inclined to send a pdf of a Mark VII manual.

A manual I do have in PDF format and would be happy to email to OP if he requests it.

Cam looks great! Reason for taking it a part was it was hard to adjust speed
and then there was no adjustment it stayed on lowest speed!! The owner before me had a wooden wedge in it to keep it from wandering!
