I finally got around to buying the $75 documentation package for my round-dial 10EE from Monarch. I was particularly interested in the assembly drawings. I called Monarch, spoke to Terrie and she went off in search of the drawings. Sadly, all of the assemblies for my machine come back as “OBSOLETE”/”DISCARDED”. 
I’m not exactly sure how this works, but if I understood her correctly, they have folders for each major assembly number and the ones I need are either empty or otherwise somehow flagged “OBSOLETE”/”DISCARDED”.
At my request, Terrie went trolling for any round-dial assembly drawings. She searched the “dungeon” (the description of it alone made my allergies act up). Apparently there is no obvious system to where the obsolete drawings are filed. She said a lot of them are filed by size, but not in any particular order. There are tubes of drawings that are too faded or tattered to use, etc.. I imagine that there was some sweet old lady who retired in the 60’s who knew “the system”, but now its strictly a hit or miss proposition.
Terrie didn’t think that any drawings were actually discarded, just carted of the “the dungeon” and no longer maintained. She was able to find a few round dial assembly drawings, but there was no way to tell if they were close to those for my 10EE. She is going to send me what she found.
All in all, Terrie went way beyond to call of duty to try and help me.
Has anyone seen any round-dial assembly drawings?
