    yes down here in Arizona i find them like 3 times a year. Got a sega G-loc for $100, a sega nascar for $200, the sega L.A rider Harley Davidson for $200, and this one for $150. every time i resale the parts that i do not need on ebay and use the hydraulics and buttons for a motion sim. Arduino uno for motors and potentiometers and arduino leonardo for joystciks like steering wheels and flying stick and pedals and also buttons. Usually i end up with a free motion sim. the only problem is the space needed for all the sims. LoL

    I think the step you need here is that to start to believe that you can DIY everything ... you don't need me , really .

    All general information and videos needed for AC motors and VFDs are already posted in the FAQ > VFD section ... I hope they are clear enough .

    Also, I've posted for you the startup and advanced user manual links for your VFDs model ...
    If you please be kind enough reading them and ask for difficulties if any may found there .

    Read and Learn buddy :thumbs
