Good morning!!!!

Well got the lathe all wired up and had my wife flip the breaker and heard a buzzing sound in the converter. :shocked: Am praying that I did not fry it. Found a wiring diagram for it but the wires going to the lathe are likely 64 years old. They are in good shape but colors are a bit faded. I quit, am calling a pro Thursday.

The Anderson static phase converter that came with my mill buzzed loudly as well. That was the main reason I upgraded to the rotary version, that and I wanted to be able to turn it on and off from each machine so I could work on the machine more safely. If Anderson is still around, why not give them a call and hear what they have to say about it. As I recall from your photos, their phone number was on the cover for the phase converter box.

The three power wires connecting to the lathe can be connected in any order. But that's not the ground wire, which should only be connected to ground. It sounds (no pun intended) to me like you're on the right track, Ed.

The thing was quiet when I tried it at the guy's shop. Also the lathe would not run today when I tried. I might try again next time i get a chance. Thanks Ed

Just don’t let the “smoke” out of the box Ed.

Ain't that the truth. Ed

More sunshine for us too this morning. The weather really has been on it's best behaviour for us this summer. Yesterday we had rain. Not ordinary rain, this was that considerate rain again, gently falling only once it had turned dark and drying up again before daybreak. It's nice to get a glimpse of paradise occasionally.

I went to see a friend yesterday who was back home after travelling all the way to Turkey to get some guaranteed sunshine for their 2 week holiday. Instead he was there for a month, a "nothing to worry about" ear infection suddenly changing into a fast ride to hospital in an ambulance, followed by seizures, an emergency operation and 5 days in an induced coma before spending more time in hospital and then another week trying to recuperate sufficiently to be able to fly home. He can't remember any of it, is still drowsy from all the drugs, looks terrible with his face half paralysed, yet still full of spirit and now planning his next trip away.

There is a half grown kitten/cat in my garage, and it won稚 leave. Gets in the window at night and meows, so I left the screen out, no luck. Leave the doors open all day for several days, still in there. Took the air hose and blew in and under everything and cannot find him. Not putting out food the last several days, but he痴 still pooping in the back of Ellen痴 El Camino and she ain稚 happy. I知 going to bait a Have a Heart trap tonight and see if I can get the little booger.
