Hi,

I purchased a metal roller from a window factory and the problem is, the rollers only spin in 1 direction but I need them to spin both directions.

The machine only has an on/off switch but I dropped the motor and it is a bi-direction motor. I have a drum switch that I would love to wire up and am a bit confused on how to do so.

I drew a picture of the motor, drum switch and what needs to happen. I just for the life of me can't figure out how to wire it. I put a 9v battery on the left side of the switch and tested every terminal (1-5 and A-E) so that I could document the electrical flow.

Hoping someone with a bit more understanding than I can lend a hand. Found the last picture online and think it's similar to what I'm trying to do. Thanks!

Dave.
