I wish mine looked like yours. its pretty filthy and the table, although not beat up, is terribly discolored/ oily rust. I don't think it has been terribly abused, just terribly neglected.That looks exactly like mine. See the extended lead screw supports, very unique.
Hopefully you will enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
These machines are very robust with hardened boxed ways. If it hasn’t been abused, it will clean up just fineI wish mine looked like yours. its pretty filthy and the table, although not beat up, is terribly discolored/ oily rust. I don't think it has been terribly abused, just terribly neglected.
I wish I would have seen your post Sunday. It looks very good, and I'm sure would have been perfect for me. Sunday evening I ordered a Kurt DX 6 it's already on the way.I have this vise and I am very happy with it.
TECO sells a similar vise of equal quality.
If you want to go cheap check out Shars other import vises.

I’d take some pictures of the motor plaque. That plaque is the key to what motor is on the machine. Also take a picture of the wiring in the main box of the mill. And post those in the electrical section of this site. Some real sharp guys on that section. I’m confident you’ll get some good answers there.Sorry for the double post.
One hitch in my plan. Or I should say the first.
It was wired up to 480 volt. The book says "most"spindle motors can be wired 240 or 480 the plaque on my motor says 480. Not sure if can be as easily switched to 240.
Does anyone have any insight on particular issue?

nice mill. Sharp is a good machine. I like Japanese products. Always top notch in my opinion.
