She’s Running, 1947 Monarch 10EE

[will.mcray]

Made new sight glasses from another member idea he shared. Added a boring and flat nitrile gasket on the back side of the reflective plate. Seals nice and no leaks. Fill the gear box and head stock and she roared to life! New paint, polish, belts, and rebuilt all the belt idlers. Working on the carriage and apron now. Need to unclog the oil likes in the carriage. Running smooth for a 72 year old lathe with original MG motor.

It looks like show-room condition!

Wow.

Just wow.
