I hope this post will help someone else figure out how the may want (or not want) to mount their VFD.
I did this a little over a year ago and it has worked well so far.
A Sheldon Model 0 came up on Craigslist here local at a good price. I will buy almost anything if its a bargain. Anyhow, when I went to pick it up, I found out it was a lot larger than I thought and also 3 phase. One of the guys helping me load it suggested trying a VFD to convert it over so I took the plunge. I studied VFDs and RFCs for a couple weeks on several forums before deciding on the Teco VFD. I bought it from Tools4cheap and was well satisfied with price and service as Jeff Beck spent a long time on the phone with me before I bought.
