    There is another option if you are lucky enough to have a house with two of the 3 phases supplied, that was pretty common in the 50's and 60's in Victoria. The fuse box on the roof is the give away, 415V is available across the two phases so a US style RPC can be built with a 415V motor.

    I guess the first thing to find out is the motor(s) power ratings. The options start there.
    There are also 240V in 415V out VFDs (more common in the UK).

    Nothing vetured nothing gained. The whole package was a bit over priced but it did say negotiable so worth a look. The larger mills are rare in Perth so if any more come up I'll give you a heads up.
    Cheers,
