So, I bought an old Parker Majestic 618 Surface Grinder. From the serial number I’m thinking it’s about 1948 Vintage.
It came with a disconnected ( cut wires ) Taft Peirce 12” chuck and and all of the original electrical boxes and relays for the magnetic chuck. And, the DC Rectifier is driven by a transformer and two vacuum tubes.
Since the Electromagnetic control switch appears intact, I’d like to keep this as simple as possible. The chuck is rated at 110 volts and 125 watts. Basically 1 amp DC at @ 100 to 110 volts
