what way do you think is best or what way should I go? I really don't know. or even get a new motor?There are actually 2 kinds of static converters, the first is simple and cheap and only gives about 2/3 power. I've seen plans to roll your own.
The second is all solid state and more than 90% efficient, but expensive. The rotary type is cheaper than the solid state.
Then you have a VFD or variable frequency drive which can be used as a 1 phase to 3 phase converter. (some models)
oh! thank you!A shaft bushing, sometimes new motors come with them.

Is the solid state converter able to go forward and reverse? just had I guys form American rotary co told me that ( ALL ) converters except, the rotary are only 2/3 power and only the rotary will do forward and reverse?There are actually 2 kinds of static converters, the first is simple and cheap and only gives about 2/3 power.

Personally, I don't know if I would want to risk investing in electronic drive units for an old motor like that. I would want at a minimum to have the motor tested for leakage and inspect the windings for deteriorating insulation.
