Razz I'm feeling pretty good about it myself too ...

It came from a dude near Wollongong who had it in his home garage. He used to build street machines (had some Summernats type trophies), but was moving to a smaller house and giving up the cars. I bought it through eBay, of all places!

99% of hoists are made 3 in phase, but this guy had swapped the motor to a 240volt (and he threw in the 3 old phase one as well). I'd been looking for a hoist for over a year; last year I committed myself to one from a local mechanic (same make, same price), but the guy sold it from under me while I was mucking about finding a suitable 240volt motor. Lucky for me in the end, as the motors are worth ~$600, so I saved that money. (Although I probably spent half that on Hilux fuel and trailer hire!!)

Feel free to PM or ask Q's if anyone wants to hunt one down for themselves and I'll tell you what I learnt during my search Smile
