Another consideration when looking for a VFD is the ability to
get a larger unit and de-rate the power to your motor size.
Just incase you decide to swap the motor out for a larger one if you are
looking to do some heavy work with it.

Do you have a picture of the original?

This is what it looked like on a sales flyer from the time:

I have picked it up, not literally as it weighs approx 250kg. I have ordered another inverter, slightly larger than I need in case I ever get a bigger motor. I can't bring it home as the ground is too wet from the snow but I think it will be easy enough to strip into component parts which should make it a lot easier.
image attached of junction box, I will have to figure out how to re-wire it for the inverter.
