The big box is known as a J box and we’re often ordered by the military and some defense plants. If you run across any taper attachment hardware, LET ME KNOW. Looking for taper attachment parts for my 10EE. I have a 1970s 10EE and a 1970s early 80s HLVM. I love both of them. But on larger parts esp. with threads courser than about 11 TPI, my go to is the 10EE. Shaper cutters, Oliver spindles, collets like those on the lower wheel of your snowflake, etc. I go to the 10EE. Smaller precision parts Esp with tapers, I go to the HLVM. Don’t have a taper attachment on the 10EE and I need to upgrade mine to have it. The 30 in was a rare bird. Most were made during the last generation of tube controls. The 10EE is a slightly better lathe than the HLVH cuz of its increased swing and heavier more rigid body. The HLVM is more of a fine instrument lathe whereas the 10EE has a broader appeal for general tool and die.
Hello, The metric 10EE should be a very nice machine once you've restored it... We don't have many Monarch lathes here in the UK, nevertheless I have always liked the 10EE. I look forward to seeing you restore it. Take care. Paul,,
@@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions I only ever saw one 10EE in person... at Boeing Surplus in Seattle about 20Y ago. Incredibly fine machine. Looking forward to seeing yours run.
What scrapyards in California still have stuff like this and sell it? I know a lot won't sell to individuals anymore. I'd love to find a lathe like this vs the frankenlathe from delta rockwell I have
You have a utility 3phase only drive on the 88, no phase converters because it is regenerative, uses line voltage for braking, I have one in a commercial shop, cant power it on single phase in my home shop. Too bad the gov drags them outside before they sell them these days. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. It's my understanding that it needs true three phase and I've heard that a rotary phase converter won't work, but I have a phase perfect converter so I want to check because I heard they will run it. If I find out it won't, I'll try the retrofit in the other machine!!
@@Anotherhomeshopguy So far no one has proved a PP will work, nothing but talk on the fake machinist forum, all the professionals are GONE! The little creep that owns that mess hates Monarch, pushes the Schaublin garbage. I contacted PP 10 yrs ago, they did not know, factory said dont try it, that was then. The other problem is phase balance. If the utility 3 phase is a just a little out, the machine senses phase loss and shuts down. I had to buy a power conditioner that was as expensive as a PP. Another problem is some components on the circuit boards are not available. The I/M machines came standard with the ELSR, yours was specifically ordered without, that is because the more experienced operators dont need it. Interesting machine, thank for showing it.
@@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision interesting info regarding the elsr!! PP advertises capability for regenerating which this drive does. There's a guy on the forum that runs his on a PP. I'll keep my fingers 🤞🏻 and see. I'll update once I know more. The speed adjust jnib is missing and I can't see any good pics on line or in the manual on how the pot is mounted. Any chance you could send me pics of yours? My email is just anotherhomeshopguy@gmail.com. thanks!!
Great machines. Hope it will be a good restoration project without to many broken parts.
Thanks!! I'll do my best to document the restoration!!

Sweet machines. I used them extensively for many years.
Nice finds! Who the heck dumps 10EE’s outside?!
Very nice machine !
Wow, I would take a monarchs 10EE in about any condition..lol..nice score
Thanks Craig. That was my thoughts, especially once I saw one of them was English/metric!!
I’m shocked that they let those EE get rusty.
At work we have 2 EE’s both are 1954
Never rebuilt

Thanks. I really think it'll be a real keeper!!
Nice find!
love lathes
Thank you for rescuing these strays from scrapping. Who dumps Monarch 10EE?
Beautiful mould making art shown in the ribbing of those lathe bases.
These old ones have a unique electrical motor and parts that are darn near impossible to replace. Some of these dont have thread cutting abilities.
I actually had to scrap one because I had no offers on it when I listed it for sale.

enjoyed……lots of work ahead……best of luck, just hit the sub button

Your so lucky!
Where in CA are you finding all this stuff??
Give me a heads up if you see stuff but aren't interested please. I'm in the bay area
I will!@
Why do you have so many lathes? Are you collecting them? Do you fix them up and sell them?
Really..you can't buy them all!!! Keep on keeping on.
I can try lol
So much lathe for online 20 inch capible
You need professional help man..🥺
If that handle is cast aluminum, I can probably help you out welding it if you dont tig weld.
Lol, yes...I know!!! Couldn't help myself!
Why would he need professional help looking for these machines?, it looks like he's doing a god job finding them!
@@jagboy69 I think it is aluminum.
