My 1963 10ee was working fine until the other day. I warmed it up and then engaged the spindle lever prepatory to turning the speed control. The machine powered up to 4000 rpm immediately. Since I almost always power the machine down with the speed control set to zero, this surprised me. I immediately backed the speed down to zero.
i ran the lathe for about three hours and couldn’t get it to run faster than 1200 RPM (indicated), but it responded to settings below this number. Remembering that the pot was dual stacked, I figured it was OK to run that day.
i checked with a member here and he suggested I look at the diodes on my machine for the lack of upper end speed.
My question: does anyone have a list of diode conversion numbers/mfg’s for all the diodes?
according to another post here, there is a issue with the brackets for alternate diodes. What is the work-around for this?
if you have dealt with this problem, would you suggest I just ask Monarch for a complete array of diodes and replace, Or, look into alternative diodes and brackets? $$$ not with standing
thanks in advance, Ken
