    So the plot thickens! 

    Indeed 3 phase motors don't run worth a darn on single phase current
    and certainly not just 110V single. On the other hand there is a
    market for used 3ph motors but the price is relatively low. For those
    who are interested there is recently an electronic device available
    to convert 240V single phase to 3ph that even gives you a broad range
    of speed control at essentially full power. If you happen to have a
    machine shop along with your studio that can be a great way to go. 

    It's no surprise that Marathon (excellent motors) isn't interested
    in your trade but a local motor repair shop very likely would be,
    especially used for used. 

Good luck,
Dr. Mac
