Multico Model K mortiser single phase conversion

[Groovyolly]

I would hesitate to attempt DIYing if there’s a chance it’s going to a motor shop. They may not want a pre-fiddled motor..

Good point.

Well the head assembly is now off the chassis, so I'll take the disassembled and cleaned parts to a motor shop and get their opinion before attempting any further DIY modifications.

There are a couple of candidates for the star point, but we'll go searching if the professionals cannot come through. I'm confident we'd have managed the conversion at this point, but the professional option should afford peace of mind and a thorough service of the motor to ensure it runs optimally for many years to come.

I'll keep the updates coming. Excellent advice so far.
