I just thought I'd stop in here to let you all know that I've joined the ranks of proud Monarch 10EE owners. I know very little about the lathes except what good things I've read here, never thought I'd actually see one let alone own one. I went and met the owner today, who got it in a job-lot of woodworking equipment from the States. He was a really nice guy and I was completely up-front with him, told him what I thought of the machine, what all the bits were, what I did and why I wanted it. In the end I was the only bidder on eBay despite 40+ watching. I won it for £500.
So here's the machine in question. From the serial numbers I figure it for a 1941 10EE. It comes with a collet chuck and a big rack of collets, has the taper attachment and travelling steady, didn't see a fixed steady more's the pity. The eBay pics made the ways look rusty but it just had a healthy coating of dust and a quick wipe showed the ways to be in excellent condition from what I can tell.
I only have a few pics - I should have taken more really but I can do that in better light later. Please tell me what you think about my new machine. I do have all the covers.
