Three nice finds for someone ...

On Ral CL - usual disclaimers, not mine, no connections, etc. I love the DJ15, but have no need. The BS could be a steal ...

To use that motor properly you would need a phase converter. I would get a single phase motor if it was me to run it. Is this a good deal? Depends IMO. I would say it is worth checking into. I would want to see the condition of the guides, bearings (wheel and thrust), trunnions, frame and table to make sure there isn't any significant damage any where. I would guess it would cost you maybe a $100 to get a 1 HP motor (minimum I would put on it), and probably another $100 to get it fully operational. For $300, it would be a good machine.

A brand new Leeson or Baldor quality motor running on single-phase at 120/240VAC at 3450 RPM with overload protection would list out over $250. But you could likely pick up something far less pricey used. Call Motors and Controls over on Hughes Street. They might have something that would cost far less than a phase converter. This could be a very fun little restoration with not too much effort - but then you need to take a close look at the bearings, guides, etc.

Poster for BS hasn't returned either Emails, or called. Motor is no problem.
