Hello,
I am brand new to metal working. I just picked up a 1943 Monarch 10EE. It's beautiful. I am having trouble getting it started, though. The generator starts up fine and sounds great. But I am not sure what I need to do to start the spindle! The lathe has an ELSR feature and I think that is related to my struggles. I have read somewhere that if it not engaged properly then it confuses the entire system. Any advice on what levers/dials to push/engage would be greatly appreciated.
If you respond, you should (correctly) assume I am an abject moron who should not be allowed near power tools.
