Finally, I can look like I got something done. 
I finished up converting my 11" SB lathe over to 3-phase by swapping in a new Baldur motor. It's not real exciting but I did have to make an adjustable mount to fit the new motor to the old bolt pattern. My old motor was pretty much shot (but I'll look at rebuilding it later just because. 
) and had a 5" x 5" bolt pattern whereas the new motor (NEMA 145T) is a 5" x 5.5". I could have drilled and tapped new holes in the lathe drive but that just goes against my grain.
