Hey guys, I have a Shop Fox lathe that has failed. To give you an idea of how it went down... I was using it pretty hard (probably past it's duty cycle) anyway I had it at full speed and then it slowed way down (like i had a large load on it) and then I turned it off. I took the circuit board cover off and turned it back on to see if i can smell anything getting hot!! I then shut it off cause it didnt want to burn it up and as soon as I turn it off, I saw a blue flash close to the transformer. So i'm thinking the transformer blew. How to you test a transformer to see if it is any good. It a FT2813-110-16DP transformer with 2 legs for input and 3 legs for out put. I ohmed out the input legs and it ohmed to 606 ohms, but dont know how many ohms it needs to be.
thanks for any help,
