Hi!
I have found a 10EE sitting in a backyard with weeds growing knee-high around it.
I have wanted one for a long time, and this is the first Monarch I have seen for sale localy.
I assume the electric's are all ruined by moisture. I could be wrong, but this is my assumption based on how the lathe has been stored.
It is a 1949 mod. How do I replace the motor and generator and all that old good stuff with modern equipment and still retain the features unique to this machine?
I see posts here telling of convertions to VFD. Does this mean sacrificing features like the "no back gear above 200 rpm"?
Not knowing how the lathe works I just have to ask. My only experience with a rebuild was i SB 9A. VFD turned out good on it, but this is sort of a few steps up the ladder in terms of complexity.....
Will inspect on friday
Thanks
Gjermund
