    What have you done with your Maino RMC55 / KE55 lately

    Been lurking for a bit, reading the various threads about Makino KE-55 and RMC-55... Finally got one, an RMC55 from 1990 and thought I'd start this thread as a place to share notes on these machines, and for me to log my adventures with the RMC55. I was really hoping to get a newer KE55, as I'm...

    1953 13EE Monarch FS...

    Thinking of selling one of the two Mythical Beasts (lol) from our collection.... 1953 Monarch 13EE 15.5" x 54" toolroom lathe. 25 - 2000 RPM in 4 gear ranges, shifted electrically. Rapids in Z and X. Had a Ward-Leonard (Motor Generator) drive originally, but we swapped in a Baldor SCR...

    Deckel FP3-NC Dialog 3, possibly parting out, retrofit ideas, etc.

    Started thinking about this FP3-NC Dialog 3 here for the first time in about 8 months, when I first bought it. I got it from a government lab locally, partially on impulse, partially because I have a 1960's FP3 and thought the two would make a nice pair, partially because I like the type 2038...

    Metric 1976 10EE Monarch

    A buddy of mine just acquired this 10EE. Made in 1976, serial 45906-R. What's interesting is it's all Metric! Anyone see such a beast before? First one for me, and I'm rather impressed with the number of parts are are metric-specific...

    10EE solid state conversion package from Monarch, '90's vintage?

    I picked up a 1967 10EE that appears to have an AC drive conversion done in the 90's. Machine was owned by Delphi in Michigan. The electrical cabinet is marked as Monarch, Sydney OH, all the prints have a 1992 date. Looking at the electrical components, I'm guessing this one was done in the...

    Big, old DC electrics: steel mll basement photos

    Anyone that likes WIAD or 1000EE electricals should enjoy this. I got a very brief tour of part of the basement in an old steel mill. Pardon the poor quality, it was one of those things that I wasn't well prepared for, and in a big hurry. But sure was fun! I really doubt much of what I saw was...

    Grid (A-73C) transformers, whare are people getting them these days??

    So I was working on a friend's WIAD 10EE (1950's tube type) and sure enough, it's got a bad grid transformer (Stancor interstage A-73C). Big surprise! Those have always been the #1 most irritating electrical components in these machines as far as I'm concerned. Because of how often they fail...
