      I have a memory that I purchased both machines as a package for $700, 20 years ago. On the one hand, we've got inflation. On the other hand, he fact that the lead screw is disassembled and one part is bent because (cough) reasons. On the gripping hand, we friends. $600 ?

      That is reasonable, I’ll gladly take it off your hands, we can work out details elsewhere. Luckily I know a guy that can either straighten or fabricate anew any bent parts.

      Uh oh, what have I done? In all seriousness though, thank you, that’s most generous! I get along with machines better than people most of the time, and those ladies will get the finest treatment.

      Excellent! I did a few hours work a decade or more ago stripping off layers of solidified high sulphur cutting oil and other crap. ...and then bunged up the lead screw end cap, thus putting me back to zero.

      Mmmm, high sulfur cutting oil. As long as the original parts are still there, I have a bit of experience with forensic reverse engineering.

      I know, I’m not sure how many of the true horror stories of FUBAR parts I’ve told you, lol.

      But yes, everything organized, set aside, labeled, Morlock style. 👍🏻

      it's maybe not THAT good, but all of the parts that were removed are in a metal bin immediately behind the lathe bed. Oh, I forgot to tell you the catch: you have to unbolt the lathe from the bench yourself. It MAY be possible to access the bolt heads from below. or not

          That won’t be a problem, I have dealt with similar issues many times.
