Tom,
I don't know if I'd shop online first for one of these. Check your local motor shops, the places where they service 3 phase motors for industry or farming. Or where they sell woodworking machinery. You might be able to find something close by and skip the shipping costs. I did a little bit of looking and the price you got for the 10 horse looks pretty good. There is also the eBay and Craig's List route. Good luck on this. Gary
Thanks Gary I got it from e-bay and the company warrantees the converter for 2 years I let you know how it works when I get it Tom Butler
