First off, thank you again for all your input on this shipping issue.? I got it done, and thought I would share the "experience" in case anybody else is confronted with this. In the end, I got the total number of boxes down to 24, weighing ~450 lb. and taking up ~40 ft^3 After much calling, I found that -if- I had it palletized and had a loading dock/pallet handling gear, I could get it to its destination for $600-800 (There were some services that look for available space that might well have been less, but you don't know their best price until you have the items ready to go and then request a number) - lift truck for pallet added $50 or so.? The problem is that I wasn't there (no pallet handling gear, have never palletized stuff, etc) - I needed somebody to palletize the stuff and stick it on whatever truck was going cross country.? I found several companies that do this, but it wasn't cheap - lowest quote was $1800 to pick up the boxes, palletize, and send them to the destination). The PODS guys wouldn't deliver a cube to the auction house's location and recommended U-pack.? A quote for moving the smallest cube they have to the auction house's address was $3700 (ouch). What did I do?? I ended up shipping them all by UPS ground using pirateship - doing that, it cost me ~$860 to send the 24 boxes to the auction house, which was more or less what the more expensive freight quotes were.

The other thing is that it probably hasn?t been submitted for US certification. The only time I?ve seen any problem was when converting a 60hz audio amplifier to 50hz, there was a bit of hum but other than that, it worked fine.

John, Could be the thermocouple. How old is the unit. I have a set of gas logs that has the same sort of set up. But when I turn them on for the 1st time, I have to really heat up the thermocouple with a lighter for quite a while, other wise the pilot lite goes out. I think it's just that the thermocouple is cold and doesn't heat up quickly. consiquently turning off the pilot light when you release the "start" button. I'd say try holding the "start" button on for at least a minute or try using a lighter to heat it up for at least a minute or two and see if that works. John John T.

As someone already commented, there may also be a wiring diagram on the motor to help with this, too: ["I'm not familiar with your application but a typical reversable AC motor is controlled by a SPST center-off switch. The motor has three leads. One is connected to neutral directly. The other tow wires have a run capacitor connected between them. Applying power to one of these two leads will make the motor run in one direction and applying power to the other lead will make the motor run in the opposite direction. There should be a label on the motor somewhere indicating which wire is which."] ---------------- All the best, Al Fuller -----Original Message----- From: Shop-talk On Behalf Of Thomas Coradeschi Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2022 5:35 AM To: shop-talk Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] 110 v motor wiring Al: What?s your definition of ?rewiring??
