Heh heh. I tend to be the same way. If a machine originally had a part, I want it to still have the part. Even if it's unlikely I will ever use it (I still have the lantern tool post and full set of holders that originally shipped with my lathe - and haven't used them since about two weeks after buying the lathe). But I will add one thing - the well in top of the headstock originally held the politically incorrect white lead. Which was routinely used on dead centers, before affordable decent live centers became common.
I need a picture of this politically incorrect white lead well. I actually have no clue what white lead looks like? Is it still made?
