Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

The box type shown is one type, another is 2 pulleys close located on a mounting post such as http://shop.raphaelsewing.com/index....roducts_id=354 The post mount can be had on ebay as low as $125US while the box type is $220US, but the box type has the advantage of mounting to the table using the standard 3 hole pattern and having the same pattern to remount the motor to instead of requiring you to plan and adapt your motor mount.
Have you had any luck yet finding manuals for your sewing machine? One forum suggests that there are manuals available for the LS2-1130 which they claim is similar.

Tony, look at Mike's pictures in post #1516 to see his solution.

Tony,
I'm not even sure if it would work but could be explored. I have a mate who clips a lot of beef cattle for parading and showing (EKKA, Sydney Royal, Rocky, Melbourne royal etc). He put me onto the idea of the following to slow the clippers down. Perhaps the same would work?

A piece of board with a female plug which the extension lead plugs into. Mounted on the board is a dimmer switch which reduces the electricity going out to the clippers he has, thus slowing them down to a nice, slow (and quiet!) pace! Perhaps this option would work for your motor? It would be relatively easy for a sparky to make up.

Cheers,
Ian.
