Hi,
I just acquired a 1966 10EE in great shape. It was under power when I looked at it. It ran great...very quiet through all the speeds. One thing I did not try was back gear because I forgot to!!
Anyway, got it home (had professional equipment riggers move it). I was there for the whole move, however I did not remove the tubes which I learned is a good idea. Hooked the lathe up and turned it on. proper warmup, hit the on button and heard the reassuring relay kick in. Ran the speed up and uh oh...not sounding great! very growly and could only get up to about 600 or so RPM. checked my wiring and tried again and same thing. I also noticed that the solenoid that allows the lathe to be put into back gear is not pulling in. That problem may have existed before the move because I didn't try it.
So...any help to give me a starting point to begin trouble shooting would be very much appreciated.
Thanks...Kevin
