Was thinking of adding a soft start system in series with the original

best choice.

You might ask if there is anyone that has had problems using a vfd on
an old motor. I know it is possible to have a problem, but I have not
had a problem. However I have not used that many VFD's with old
motors. So I would ask others with more experience.
