I have a hunter DSP 9000 tire balancer for sale near me. But it is 220 3 phase which i dont have. I know there are phase converters available but they are expensive.



I read somewhere that 3 phase motors can be run on single phase 220, but the motor start would not work. (You can spin the tire once by hand to get it going then it would work).



Does this sound correct? What about the electronic read out on the machine? Would it work on single phase 220 without a converter?



I appreciate it!

This balancer is 300 dollars. But it also does not have the cones or anything with it which I would have to get. I really wanted it for my home shop. I have three vehicles currently and have adaughter that will be driving shortly. I live out in the middle of nowhere so it is hard to get things such as this done.

I have thought about an old fashion bubble balancer but have read some people say they wont work with modern radial tires but I have others who swear by them.
