Awesome, I'd be happy to pay shipping.
I'll send you a pm.
I just sent my manual to vintagemachinery.org so they can post it there. It is now available at:

Another issue I have is the motor wiring. Everything was disconnected when I got it. think I know how to wire the motor and the caps to the drum switch but I’m not sure. There are 8 wires coming out of the motor so it is a bit confusing and the motor is an integral part of the machine so if one blows it up one is in big trouble. There is no date on the machine, just a s/n (98215) and anyway the mfg doesn’t support this model.

It appears yours is a 3 phase. Mine says single phase on the data plate. What about yours?
Yes, mine is 3 phase. 1/2 the reason for the vfd. VFD is 220v single phase in and 220v 3 phase out.

Hey all, yesterday I received an EM825 for my workshop. I got it at a very good price on the understanding that it "didn't turn on".
Everything turns freely, so it seemed llikely a motor or supply issue. The machine is three-phase and has a single-to-three converter included. I did't have time to wire it up at a known-working VFD before leaving for holidays, but I have tested the motor with multimeter.
For those who don't know, it's a 2-speed (multi-winding) motor. With the switch in position #1, I got about 30 ohms between phases and position #2 was 16 ohms. This was tested at the end of the power cable that connects inside the cast iron base. (Cable runs through column)
I suspect the rotary switch (#1/off/#2) is probably in need of a clean as the first time I tested it, I was getting around 200 ohms between phases. After rotating the switch a couple times, the resistances came down.
Anyone have any thoughts or input on this? I'm so keen to have my first proper mill working and am bummed-out I have to wait until the new year to test.
Anyone have some good (or bad) news for me?
Happy holidays

It may be the switch(wishful thinking). Not going to know until you hook it up. If it is the motor, i do not think its standard or easily replaced, by the looks of it. Im actually going to try changing vfd to a older 1Ph to 3Ph ac motor controller on mine.
