I determined that the headstock on my PM-1236 is badly out of alignment so I have been attempting to perform the alignment per the manual. I obtained a 1.5 inch precision ground 12 inch bar that was mounted in the 4 jaw chuck and centered. Moving the dial indicator from the chuck to the end of the rod (about 5 inches) shows the head is out by 18 thousands over that run. Looking at the manual, on page 30, Figure A4 shows 2 6MM keys that pass through the headstock tab rail into the lathe bed. I was using a 6MM hex key and wasn't getting any resistance. So I looked closer and realized that both these bolts are missing, no sign of the expected thread showing for the bolt. Needless to say this is making the alignment difficult. Any advice?
