Well the big day came to pick up my lathe, my friend was very helpful lending me a hand to dismantle the lathe into 6 pieces I could load onto a trailer with his forklift,while some had been taken apart some time back leaving me a bit worried if I could ever work out how everything would go back together, but one thing I learned quickly was that these old machines were very well built and thought out so they are almost foolproof in the way they go together.
A slight clean is needed, nothing I cant handle.
