So I did a thing. I bought another wreck. If its damaged, abused, or not operational . . . I think I must have it.
I have been casually watching my area for a quite a while and its only the 2nd 10ee I've happen to notice for sale for probably a few years.
A few up sides. The price, I got it fairly low due to its condition. Its a 30", longer bed. Its nearly complete, except for taper attachment. Taper attachment mounting is there, but it guts are missing. Spindle spins freely.
Downsides, its been outside a while and it shows. Inner vee for carriage has a hefty gouge line half its thickness. Oh, and I need to move it, I hate moving machines .
I had limited time to view it. Removing front electric door, I can peek through cracks and see motor is there. Was not sure how to remove two left side covers, off head stock and base. I see an allen head locking mechanism at 12 oclock of upper cover. Playing with it for a short time, could not sort out how to remove it. It seemed that needs to come off before lower base cover. Any advice there appreciated.
