Well, got it in place where it will sit in the garage. Now that I have started messing with it, I might should have taken a better look when buying. The ways are pretty worn. It looked like the guy kept oil on it, but the oil is so full of grit. Got the cross slide screw cover off and it was ugly underneath. That surface isn't too bad. Chuck is stuck on. Going to make a tool to lock on the back of the spindle to work on that. It is probably worn, too, but is an adjustable three jaw . Some one has used a pipe wrench on the back of the spindle in the past . Couple of the gears are pretty worn, not too worried about that.......yet. Plan to keep digging. Got the felt kit for it today with the wicks, so....... No doubt will be usable for things, just a little disappointed that I wanted it bad enough to, well, you know!
