I want to convert my 1942 16CY to 220v. The lathe came from a GM metal fab. plant and it looks like maybe the electrical components may have been updated from the way it cam from the factory? Im not sure. Before I removed the 5 HP motor I verified that is was wired for a 440v supply. Attached below are some pics of the components inside the box, and a pic of the motor I.D. plate. Im not an electrician and I have been researching this subject but I still have some questions. I know for one I need to replace the heaters and from the picture of the Cultler Hammer info on the heaters,( sorry the picture is out of focus) I take it I need the #1039 heaters for the 13.7 amp wired for the 220v? And this is where I am confused on the starter itself, do I need a different size starter? FYI the lathe has a work light, A PB start button, an E-stop button, a limit switch that has to be made by the chuck T-wrench, and a dro. Thanks in advance,
Joe
