No idea what it sold for, it is not a new in 1998 machine. It looks like it may have been a Monarch rebuild? The base casting is a MG or WiaD style last produced in the late 50's maybe to 61 or 62?

Yes doubtful they have new castings produced. I do( or did, haven't checked in a while) know they(what is left of monarch) sell as new lathes that are basically rebuilt machines.
I am not a 10eeafile so don't know nor care at this time about the nuances of the castings etc. over the years. This could change in the future, but really just curious what a machine like this is going for at auction today.Just saw it in passing in one of the hundreds of auction emails I get.
The color is between putrid and almost likable, don't know rather to laugh, cry, or smile at it.

I think when Monarch does a rebuild they keep the original serial number and add an "R" at the end. Can anyone confirm this? Serial number given for this is "38925-R". According to _Serial Number Reference Book_, which is said to contain errors, serial number 38925 would have been built in 1953.

On Monarch Lathes' website here: Rebuild Program | Monarch Lathes you'll see a 10EE that's about the same color as the one in auction.

Was a indeed a rebuilt machine using an early 50's model as a foundation. This one did not have the back gear feature and instead had a 10 hp AC motor with a TB Woods VFD installed. It was reported to have sold for over $25k at auction according to the auction company.
Monarch does build new machines with new beds, headstock and tailstock castings, apron & carriage castings, etc. at a minimum.

Thank you very much for this information to the effect that Monarch, in fact, does use new castings when building new 10EE's.
