Thinking of selling one of the two Mythical Beasts (lol) from our collection....
1953 Monarch 13EE 15.5" x 54" toolroom lathe. 25 - 2000 RPM in 4 gear ranges, shifted electrically. Rapids in Z and X.
Had a Ward-Leonard (Motor Generator) drive originally, but we swapped in a Baldor SCR Line-Regen drive instead. Original 20HP DC motor in place, and the modern Baldor 4-quadrant drive feels (and sounds) a lot like an 80's Monarch SCR Line-Regen drive. Gear shifting works with original switchgear.
Ways have no wear, some very localized pitting. CSS not hooked up currently but would not be difficult to implement with the modern drive.
$7500, have forklift to load.
Have a great Thanksgiving !!
Thanks,
Alex.
