finaly sorted out my industrial machine (singer 111g) :) the wiring was in a bit of a state so I have replaced it all and am running it of an rcd just in case. Will get a new motor for it a some point. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the motor - its noisy but no where as difficult to control as I was lead to believe (its an old clutch motor) - after 5mins practice I can make it creap along stitch by stich pretty much :)
The foot lift on it is huge - can fit masses under it - soo much easier than with a domestic machine.
