Replacing the motor is an option, but I don't think it's that easy on this grinder. I would like to restore this vintage grinder to it's original appearance. To replace the motor and keep the original look would be almost imposssible, unless I found an original motor in the proper voltage. I've found some 440/220/2kva transformers on ebay for $150 and less. The vfd will be the pricey part. I think, if I'm patient, I can score one for $200-300. I like the challenge of the hunt for parts to make this old stuff work. That being said, if anyone has a 220v Queen City 2hp motor laying around, cheap, hit me up.
