I do not know?
There not that old so most homes would have one.
I have the part you need to replace in electronics.??
It is a real pain when one blows. I have only had happen one time in my life back in 1980's and RadioShack had part on the shelf.
5 hours later was up running again and a spare one.??
Today I like the power strip with built in protection.? If it dieds then grab on off shelf and 5 minutes later up and running again.?
FYI? If do a lot welding it can also happen to your electronics.?

There are two basic kinds, one snaps in like a larger size 220 volt circuit breaker and the other screws into a knockout.

OK, but you really wanted a AC-DC-AC system. ?You might be in luck because that is how all brushless motors work. ? There is one of those inside the lathe already if you have a brushless motor

But if I am not mistaken, I think all mini lathes use PWM to control the motor. ?If so, then you already have a kind of AC-DC-AC system in from of the lathe's motor.

There are many types: one for your computer, one for your fridge.
Full AC-DC-AC is maybe a littlebit luxury?
