I picked up a #28, excited about getting it making chips! Came with 3 heads, supports, bars with a ton of spacers, and about 3 pallets of tooling!
I find that the motors are 550 volt. I have 240V 3 phase coming in. I really do not want to get an odd ball transformer that will never be used for anything else. My thoughts are replace the spindle motor (284 frame, still available) with a 230V and have the motor on the gear box re-wound for same, reason being looks like that frame (204) is now obsolete. Anyone who has been down this road, I am all ears! How are you running a 550 volt system? If it were 480V I would get a bigger transformer than needed and set up a panel with room to grow, but this is a bastard size to me.
I am sure I will have more questions as I get this thing going.
