The VFD I purchased on ebay is a Used Toshiba VFS7s-2007up.
It took some digging but I did find a manual for it on the Internet. It is
very informative and I could email it to you if you would like to see it.

A new VFD for 1Hp is easy to get on the Internet for about $169.00.

I will gladly keep you posted if you are interested...In fact, If you are
anywhere near Columbus OH, I will even let you turn it on for the first
time....Wink Wink nudge nudge...

I may end up in the hospital after this is all over. Who knows.

Hey Rick.
I am anxious to hear how it goes. I have a Powermatic 90 That I
am thinking about VFD'ing. I have a reeves drive also along with
Jackshaft. I am new to turning and have heard that even at the listed
low of 500rpm. I would still want to run slower at times. So I am
leaning toward the VFD. I am curious which one you bought. I would
also like to have the option of running the lathe in reverse. I heard
that all VFD will do this. How did you decide which one to get. Keep
me posted, I am interested to hear how things go.

Good luck.
Sean
