hello all

    years ago I had bought a dust collector, a medium size dust
    collector, Torrit, that came with a "Marathon" 1 hp motor but it was
    220 volt, at that time I took out all the electric and replaced it
    with a "Baldor" 115 volt 1 hp and wireing/switch. I was told that
    there was a converter to convert the 220 volt to run on 110V but the
    converter itself would cost as much as a complete change of motor
    and wireing. So after 15 or so years I been sitting on this 220 volt
    great motor, and was wondering if anyone out there has changed or
    converted a 220 down to 110 volt, with out a converter. say
    switching wires or conections. anyone?
