Hiya I have a Myford MF74 I am restoring, most of it is done and I now just have to do the headstock, as an amature I had the parts shot blasted as I didnt want to mess with stripper to get stubborn paint off, I leaft the bearings in the headstock as they were pinned in place and the blasting has damaged and pitted the inside of the bearings to the point where if they were made smooth again they might be too loose, also the casting where it clamps the rear spindle bearing had a stress fracture hiding under paint and grime, the bearing pins were all that were holding it on
