I'm just working on my second RK05 drive now, to see if I can get it going by VCF West (I'm going to get crazy this year and rent a truck and show the 11/45, so some other people can enjoy it :-))

In any case, I can confirm that the power supply and transformers are jumper-able for 220VAC, and the motor is on a spring-tensioned swing arm, so it probably accommodates a different pulley just fine.  HOWEVER, I noticed today that my particular motor has an ominous bright orange sticker on it that explicitly says "60 Hz ONLY".  As far as I know, its an original motor.  FWIW!
