[modeleng] 3 phase

Hi Guys,
Have aquired a couple of fairly old 3 phase pillar drills from a local 
engineering works. The cosst is I have to fetch them which seems fair. They are 
in very good condition and still being used to finish off a large contract. 
Don't know the make but most of the rest of the works they came from last year 
were "Senior" machines for this smaller stufff. They are mine when job done. 
Rather than changing the motor I hope to keep the one on them. I have heard it 
is possible to fit a capacitor to act as the third phase. If this is correct 
can someone please tell me what capacitor, where to connect etc

Many thanks

Julian.
