I have made small leap in quality from my Jet 9x20 and have aquired a 1945 10ee and what may be the original matching cabinet. I have some questions about the electrical system as I think it has been modified from factory. Shouldn't I have another motor on top running off of that pully? And what is the huge variable resistor for?
This is also mounted to the back of the lathe
This is what the cover says
Really what I need to know is if I can convert it to single phase or do I have to run a converter and if I have to run a converter can it be a static unit? I realize rotory converters are the best option but I already have the static unit and I don't want to buy a rotary if I am going to have to rip the electrics out of the lathe and start over. If the system in place works I don't want to let the smoke out of it if I can help it. Thanks guys! -Ben
