A friend of mine wants my Klondia- he's offered me a king's ranson and a non-working Burke MVI as Central Transport dropped his Lagun he bought from HGR. He got $600 for $4500+600 investment as HGR said "Past 30 days invoice" and Central said the Lagun "looked old".
He has a Burke MVI that was in mint condition until his apprentice decided that he would wire up reverse. The mill was wired for just forward. Apprentice screwed up wiring and that was that- magic smoke released and a burnt out breaker to boot. Apprentice is apprenticing at another shop as none of this was authorized.
Me pal has offered to throw in the Burke for free as my Klondia is a rather large lad.
My problem is that the motor was taken to a motor shop in Westminster SC and it was repaired. A guy came in, saw what he knew to be a rare motor, claimed to be the owner, paid for repairs, and took two motors and ran.
So there is no motor on this Burke MVI. I'd like to have it if I could get a 2hp on it and wire it for a VFD so I could have slow speeds and fast speeds.
The motor shop repairman wrote the motor was an 810 frame, 1200rpm, 3ph and either 1 or 2 hp. He doesn't know if that was all the data or corrl.
So does anyone know of a motor that can be purchased or a frame that will work a Burk MVI
