Hello All,
Picked up a 10EE from Sep 1956, serial no. #41731. I didn't know much about it when I purchased it somewhat sight-unseen. I just got it into the shop and am starting to go through it to find out what I've got and what my plans will be. The unit has been sitting in a machine shop but has not been under power for 30+ years! Unit was built and is labeled as a 480V unit; not sure what has been done to it since. It is a WIAD unit and it appears to be complete except for the B&S coolant pump which is missing as I believe is customary.
First question is power supply. I can easily install a step-up transformer to make 480V off of my 120/208 3PH service. I can also dig in and rewire it to take 240 single phase if that is possible and recommended, especially since the coolant pump is missing which I understand is the only component that uses L1, L2, and L3. I know there are many threads on this bbs that will walk me through that.
Any over all thoughts on the machine and my plans are appreciated!
