Hey all!
Just wanted to share some pics of my Heavy 10 I recently got. Bought on eBay from a machine resale company in New Jersey, MVI (GREAT company to deal with). Seems it was very well maintained through it’s life. 3ph motor. Lathe made in fall of 1965. NASA owned at some point.
Before anyone asks, yes. I put it in the back of my living room (being single has benefits). I’ll be putting rubber matting around the base tho to protect the carpet just in case…also, I have a Fuji Electric VFD to run 220 1ph up to 220 3ph. I was going to use an RPC, but this is the only 3ph machine I plan on having inside my house.
