Another update:
New motor has been wired up with all the necessary control gear and seems to be running well. A bit of cleaning done, machine is looking much better.

Next job: a coat of paint and the overhaul of the vertical head, which is seized solid. I think, on the whole that a vertical miller is more useful so that will be the key to making it productive.
