Comments:

This was in storage for ten plus years and sold at Smitty's sale in Jan. 2020. A 3 hp 3 phase machine, had been originally procured by the air force and had been wired for 440 volts AC. I would strip it down that summer, but wasn't able to put it into service until 2024 after acquiring a single phase GR motor and carriage that fit on the GA arm (with some minor alignment changes, since it was not the same dimensions). I still have the original 3 phase motor and may swap it back at some point, or switch out for a larger motor if I can find a 5 hp that fits the GA arm.
