Hello Roger,
Do you only need to convert the frequency for the motor or for
the whole unit?
If it is only the motor, you might look for a converter which is
used for jukeboxes. Some people here in the Netherlands use a
frequency converter for the motor which drives the turntable,
the rest of the electronics does work without problems on 50Hz.
Regards,
Ed
Thanks for whoever it was who posted the info on the
IBM 029 keypunch
on eBay. I have won it, nobody else bid. After it has been shipped
across the Atlantic I will have to think about converting it from 60Hz
to 50Hz. I have the remains of a 50Hz verifier which has a 240v / 50Hz
motor I should be able to use. Hopefully the rest runs on DC, so a
step down transformer before the transformers and bridge rectifiers
might be enough. Shipping costs more than the item of course.
Anyone have any thoughts if it is worth trying the whole thing with
just a 240 - 110 transformer? If the motor burns out, not the end of
the world.
