Well, Steve,  *that* is filed where I can find it.  I may be on your email
doorstep in the fall.

I see that I made a very misleading typo in my first post:

   Careless-Me>  The 3HP motor was vandalized.

It's a 3-PHASE (not 3-horsepower) motor, 60 Hz, 550V, 15 HP, 16.5 Amp,
900 no-load RPM, Type KT induction motor.             -----

Um, how would I get 16.5 A at 550V from a normal 200A, 110/220V (or
whatever it is) service?  (Assuming the motor turns out to be
ressurectable.)
