Slip,
Rotary phase converters even home built are going to cost you a couple of hundred atleast, between the components and a motor. If this is the only machine that you have with three phase, it is definitely cheaper to purchase another motor... go to ebay and look up pj industrial, he has plenty of reasonably priced motors. I would recommend 1750 rpm (that's whats on yours) 56 frame that comes with a 5/8 shaft, check yours, you may have a different frame (some model years were different) and may have a 7/8" shaft for the varible spped pulley system. I would recommend a 2hp as the 1 hp can bog down under heavy turning conditions. This is one mother of a lathe. It is very important to level the ways of the bed to insure accuracy.
Let me know if you still need info and I will forward whatt I have,\.
