Actaully, a lot of the 8" drives I have have 120V motors, but of course
the right pulleys for 50Hz mains. They are run from an

So I suppose he could have something like that :-)

Well, he could have a 220V 50Hz model and be running it on 120V 60Hz
(the motor will develop sufficient torque to spin the disk). I've
made that mistake once. The results from the reverse would be
"interesting"...
