In a bit of a pickle here folks. Hope someone can help me out with a couple of reference photos. I have a sick warco super major. I replaced 3 of the 4 contacters after one burned out. Ok, that’s not all I did: I also put a couple of extension boxes in to make moving the control cabinet a bit easier. I was under the impression I had color coded the ends of every wire I cut and every connection to the contacters. Oops. Now the mill seems to run in reverse ok but nada forward. Head lift goes up and down from the contacter buttons but only down from control box. Here’s a snap of my efforts. If anyone has a super major I’d be over the moon if you could help with a few snaps to help me get this sorted out. Thanks folks.
