Please talk me out of upgrading my lathe to a Monarch 10ee art deco masterpiece.

[micron@mastodon.social]

@th A bit of a project if you need to replace the drive electronics with something modern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lGJU3CCpo4&list=PLbGC44mjwqreGZI_8dyNq4M8gyasb2F0j

[standard_phil@infosec.exchange]

@th That would look great in anyone's shed - and probably in the lounge room, too.

[apbblue@thepit.social]

@th Nope. Not gonna do what you asked.

[dodgytheories@indieweb.social]

Nope. You should follow your heart. Life is short.

@th@social.v.st

What an amazing design.
Ummm, older ones are bulkier, heavier, you might not be able to get spare parts BUT they are repairable I imagine.

Tough one.

[steter@mastodon.stevesworld.co]

@th Debt is fun! Go for it! 🤪

[salixsericea@mastodon.social]

@th Sure, but please wait until I'm done with matching the of Amazing Grace to the brand new lyrics for "Amazing Lathe (how sweet the sound)..."

[petrillic@hachyderm.io]

@th absolutely not. Everyone deserves a 10EE. I will however encourage you to repaint it to a better and more interesting color.

A friend had one in candy apple red. Spectacular.
