Hey guys,
I don't post too often but have learned a lot lurking. I've wanted a smaller lathe to compliment my larger lathe in my home shop. I have a whacheon 17x40. I wanted either a HLVH or a 10ee. I ended up getting a HLVH English metric clone several months ago. It's pretty nice but I still kept an eye out for a real HLVH or 10ee.
I'm on Instagram under the name @anotherhomeshopguy and a guy that follows me sent me a message that he saw 2 at a scrap yard and asked if I was interested. I was. He picked them up for me and I just got them yesterday.
Here's pics: pretty rough, been sitting outside for months but I figured with one being an English metric with taper attachment it was worth the risk and worst case scenario I could part out and get my money back.
The English metric was made in 1988. Looks like the original solid state drive. I got the order sheet from monarch and it was order at 460v. So I'll have to see if that can be easily changed to 230. I've read that these require true 3 phase but that a phase perfect converter will work. I have a phase perfect.
I don't see the knob for changing the speeds.
The 2nd machine has more rust and is missing the tailstock. It was rebuilt in 91 and has been converted to a DC solid state drive with a pacemaster 2.
I'm hoping most of the 1988 machine is OK and will use the 2nd for parts. The large handwheel for moving the carriage on both machines is broken so I'll need one of those at some point.
Anyway, looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me!!
