As the proud owner of a 1943 10EE, this video was a real treat! Beautiful restoration! Mine came with a rotary phase converter and I can't help chuckling at how ridiculous it seems to go from Single phase, to three phase, to DC, yet this particular machine was without a doubt my friend's favorite machine before he passed away I am honored that his widow sold it to me and it will be the centerpiece of my new shop
I used to think that a PWM system was somehow less desirable than a VFD, but this system is so smooth from 5 rpm to 4000 rpm that I'm just amazed something so old could perform so well. It really is crazy how difficult it is to alter the speed of a motor.
Great video Tim. Got to watch it all the way to the end. Some great shots in there. You realize now that you are one of the few folks around that has a solid understanding of the Wiad drive. I'm sure you will be getting a few calls Dr Monarch. All the best, Tom
Nice! I'm trying to fix a really nice MG square dial at the local Community College. I'm really not a fan of how loud that thing runs. It's like running a shop vac!
The good people at Blackmagic design have really done amateurs like us a huge service with DaVinci Resolve. I honestly can't believe how full featured free software can be these days. In high school, I used to make videos with my friends for English class and editing was always a nightmare with one video camera and a consumer-level VCR. Most of what we made looked like the "Fight Milk" commercials from SUNY.
For people that want to know more about the technical process, you can check out my build-thread on the "Practical Machinist" forum for a good idea about what understanding(s) I had going into this project and what I had to learn to complete it. www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/monarch-lathes/my-very-own-monarch-10ee-restoration-358859/
@@rainman6272 It's the mix of old and new, restoring an old machine with LCD Soundsystem as the soundtrack. Reminds me of how May is basically from the 50s but he is always the first of those three to stand up for new tech and electric cars and hybrids and whatnot.

Thanks Tom! I definitely want to keep working with Xenon plasma.
Very nice cleanup/resto on the 10ee…I have a ‘53MG unit

Very cool! Looks great!
Thanks man! I had to sell the tooling cabinet without getting a chance to restore it. I bet the next guy will do something about it though.
Cool! I have that same blue toolbox and it has some Lobster tools in it!
Really nice final cut! Loved the unburnable trash icon on the oscilloscope
I was definitely taking notes when you guys saw it.
Just wanted to say that the editing and filming looked great!

This makes me think of James May.
I've been compared to worse, so I'll take it.
