General lathe question

>Does anyone have the General lathe with the 2HP variable speed drive?
I have a good friend in New Orleans who is updating his General with the new motor and drive. He has everything mounted but is unsure about connecting the wiring. Evidently, the instructions are not the greatest. If someone could help him out on the wiring connections, I would be happy to put the two of you in touch.
Thanks on behalf of my friend Kenny,
Gary

Also changed it from 220 60Hz input to 230 Volt 50 Hz.

>I want to publicly thank Denis Lalonde for his help for my friend. He very graciously went to the trouble of e-mailing me copies of the General wiring diagrams.
I can now send a copy to my friend and then walk him through the wiring hook-up.
Thanks again, Denis; Geez, I love this place!
