Sheldon lathe wiring question

I bought a Sheldon 15 lathe and want to hook up in my garage. Looking over old manuals and such they claim to be dual voltage. inside my electrical cabinet there are two different transformers I can switch from 440V to 230V. Things get interesting on the motor itself. The lime electric motor has 6 leads and doesn't say anything on the tag about being dual voltage.

Is there a way to wire this 230V accurately to use with my RPC?

Unfortunately, the 6 leads are used in the speed change, and the motor is a one-voltage two-speed motor, at 460V.

Your options appear somewhat limited, either change the motor, or install a step-up transformer arrangement to raise the 230 to 460V.
