I have to Replace the motor and VFD / inverter on my 3520 B. I have procrastinated and now the VFD seems to not be available except for one place that wants $1200 for it. I知 not very electrically inclined and am nervous about putting a different VFD on my machine. The motor is going for $$700-$800. I will likely need to replace many other parts such as bearings and switches. My lathe was unfortunately under several free of seawater due to hurricane Harvey briefly. I was unable to get to it quickly and wash it out. I am wondering if the headstock on the 3520 C would work on my 3520B bed?
I don稚 know what it might cost and if I can buy these complete units from anybody. Does anybody know if this would work or have any other advice for me? Thanks
oh and when I say headstock I mean the complete motor and drive system inside the cast iron. i知 pretty sure my existing headstock on 3520 B could not be retrofitted for 3520 C? Right?
