So I get to join the people who have debugged a tube drive. Have not used the lathe for months, went to make a part, warm up fine, contractor closes when button lights, hit forward nothing ☹️
Lots of evidence of mice (I hate tiny livestock) so first thing I need to do over the next few days is open everything clean and inspect for wire damage.
Hopefully it’s related -
Not really looking for input YET, just figure I’d let people know I feel your pain when you have a non working drive!

What year is your 10ee Paul? Is she a WIAD or Modular?

I had the same behavior when i brought my ‘56 WIAD to Florida from Texas. Upon installing the tubes the contractor would close but no power was delivered to the DC cabinet in the headstock. Turned out to be a loose connection at the EL1C tube.

Standing by to assist.

72 modular and had been working no issue for a bunch of years. All I did was take end belt covers off, could see the tubes partially lighting.
As it was working fine, figure I need to inspect everything mice could have gotten into and prob clean connections before delving any further.

I’ll be back with questions if needed, I’m a ME not an EE
