The 8 degrees in the shop today were almost comfy. So I wired the Terminals in the console.

And I straightened the bugger with some not to gentle blows with the hammer.

File Attachment:


And now the Panay sits well and I can start to figure out where to put the computer.

Hi,

sorry muss mal in Deutsch zwischenfragen...

Sind bei dir die Führungsflächen vom Schlitten mit Belag versehen, oder sind das einfach geschabte Flächen?
Bei mir ist da irgendein grauer Kunstoff drauf der fix und fertig aussieht, Habe jetzt keine Ahnung ob das so Original ist oder ob schon mal jemand daran rumgepfuscht hat....

ich habe einen Liner and der vordern Führung. Ob das Original oder nachträglich kam kann ich nicht sagen. Aber auf den ersten Blick war bei mir alles Spielfrei, daher habe ich es erst mal so gelassen.

Cleaning parts is never fun but most of them are done now. Just the two biggest housing parts I have left for later.
While cleaning some of them I wish I had opted for more wire work today

It came with a center, so at least I have some cast Iron and a fitting center.

Looks pretty beefy. Hope it fits your lathe well.

Sometimes when it sounds to cheap / good to be true, it simply isn't.
I found the fitting nipples for the oiler, and they arrived today. And I realized they are missing the pistons. So instead of the 50 quid fo the nipples I need the whole distributors, so it's 280 then and waiting again. Lead time is end of April.
Damn it
