I have a 10EE that I have not done much with inside base. I would like to find out if any or all of the electrical parts are useable or if I should just scrap it all and install a new complete drive. I would really like to keep it original if possible. So I believe I need to start at the generator and exciter yes? Pull the plate and see how it’s wired? It has 240V and 480 V options. I don’t know which. But if it’s wired 480 I don’t have service for that so I will wire it 240 if that’s the case. Next, I planned on hookup to a vfd and see if I get power. This machine has no apron on it or anything on the bed. The gearbox cover plate (the round dial) is removed and the associated parts are also removed. All the gears and such are still in there. The headstock has no oil in it and neither does the gearbox. All sight glasses have been removed. My plan for the headstock gearbox apron saddle taper attachment cross slide etc is to remove all of this and replace with donor 10EE. The bed is another thing. I want to see which one I have is the better to use. I will use the one with less wear. Back to the issue, what should I do next with MG?
