Major milestone: I got the Clausing wired up and running, but with speed controls on the VFD (which is on the wall) for now. Remote control (that is, at the lathe) will be added later.
The bottom of the varispeed assembly (at the motor wobbles quite a lot). I'll be needing the famous nylon bushing.
There are other odd noises, probably induced by the varispeed wobble, but the varispeed does work.
