Steve, what kind of VFD is that?

Also, what did you do with the control levers - connected to anything?

I used a cheap Chinese VFD off of ebay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181561549023&alt=web

I reconnected the levers to their original switches. Nothing is connected to them, but I left them in case any future owner wanted it back to original.

Some rainy day, connect that VFD to the drum switches. Pretty easy work, except for the Thinking part

I will probably do just that. I was just so anxious to get it running, I took the quick and easy route. I actually have a diagram drawn up for the wiring.
