So my "new" 1958 square dial 10EE is safely sitting in my shop. It was last in service at least 15 years ago. Now the fun begins!
For starters, I'd like to get the old girl up and running after a good bath, inspection as necessary and recommended maintenance.

Question: what would y'all suggest be done to return a machine to service that's been down for a while? I'm thinking general clean-up, belt replacement, oil & filter change, new way wipers ... what else? Would you think it a good idea to take the apron upper half off to inspect inside and to verify apron pump operation? Need to verify the machine is wired for 230, not 460. Need to somehow verify that...
What else?
edit: The machine came with a serial number specific manual from Monarch, so I have that. All tubes were removed and boxed in bubble wrap by the previous owner, so they're not installed.
