I don`t know if its dual voltage, where would I find that out?
It does say 950 RPM on the motor for sure.
I was hoping for a simple solution although I do have a couple of 3/4 HP 240 volt motors lying around. I`m guessing that the cost of a new belt and a new pulley will put the cost near to a converter? Although I do not know...
As it is, it would make a top class anchor
Go with a 3/4 HP 240V motor you have. A new pulley (about 1/2 the Dia.) and belt will be WAY less cost than a converter.
