Hi Monarchers:
I'm just now joining the forum because I just put a bid in on a 1959 10EE. It has a solid state DC drive made by Southcon Industrial Controls, model 8RG, but apparently they are no longer in business (at least Google can't find them). Judging from the vintage of the electonics, I would imagine this is a retrofit. The controller spec plate says that it requires 240 VAC, single phase, 17A. However, the plug and wiring to the machine are all 3 phase. Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram, manual, etc. for this controller so I can determine if I can run it from my home 240 VAC single phase service?
Lacking that, can anyone recommend a good DC controller for this machine?
Thanks in advance for any info!
Cheers,
DaveC
