I just got this Logan model 200 Lathe. It's from the 1950's as far as I can tell. I had to disassemble parts of it to get it moved onto my trailer, including the switch and motor. The motor is a 1/2 horse Walker Turner "Driver" that is listed as 110/220 on the ID plate. The PO said that it was 110 but when I went to plug it in, I found a 15 amp 220 plug on the cord. I do have 240 service in the garage, but no outlet where the lathe is. So the question is, should I make an extension cord or just change the plug on the lathe until I can put a 220 line to it. Right now I'd just like to see if the motor and switch work. Do I need to change anything on the motor to switch voltage.
