A little history....
Bought this a few years ago from U of Mich in an auction. The 3HP Reliant is in a near pristine condition, no rust. Not so the exciter or generator. Pretty much frozen as it had not been run in original format for a long time. The Monarch DC Control box had been torn out before I bought it. It had a Seco DC Controller in an unknown condition, as I never had it under power. In trying to get it to work, I let the smoke out of the Seco (because I'm an electrical idiot). Fast forward to the purchase of a NOS Parker 514c-16 four quadrant DC Controller. Now what do I do? I ask a few questions on this forum and Cal Haines gives me some good advice. I get my nieces boyfriend, an electrical engineer, and from Cal's posts we get the 10ee to run.
The Seco as I received it.
And the Monarch
And the back end
