I just purchased a round column mill rf25 or similar. It was RUNNING under 110v when purchased. Seller says it works fine. I saw it run.
Here's the problem....it appears to be actually wired for 220v. And it appears someone MAY have added aftermarket capacitors to the system.
Here is the motor information:

Here is what it looks like under the junction box

Here is the wiring diagram as it was wired when disassembled for transport.
