Robbie,  You might want to follow up with Giorgio Farabegoli about
your advice regarding his Seeburg L problem.  Changing the voltage to
93 volts won't do anything useful.  A 5/6 ratio transformer will reduce
the 220 volts to about 185 volts.  That will surely fry that motor.

He needs an isolation transformer with a 2:1 winding to reduce the
voltage from 220 volts to 110 volts.  Then he needs a larger pulley
to get the drive RPM back up by a ratio of 6:5.  A small fan might be
a good idea if the motor gets hotter than normal.  On the other hand,
if he were to use that 5/6 transformer on the 220 volts, he'll need
a really big fan -- to clear out the smoke!

It sounds like he already knows about an appropriate device to alter
the voltage so I think what he really wants to know is how large
a device does he need.  The horsepower or current draw of the motor
for the "L" is what he needs to know so he can buy the right size
'converter'.
