Wish I could have done that with the Churchill. Maxed out the 350kg position on the engine crane getting just the bare bed off the truck
Good work. Be good to see this running again.

That was my first lathe - a Round Head Student - sounded like a bag of nails but was actually very serviceable. They all seem to have noisy head stocks as the gears are straight cut. So long as the main spindle bearings are ok it should be fine, but they are Gamet and there are (or were) no equivalents, and were £600 a pop back in the 1970's :bugeye: They are opposed tapers, but the rollers are hollow cylinders and I had one that had collapsed and knocked a chunk out of the raceway. Fortunately found a s/h one.

Large Gamet hollow roller headstock bearing advertised on ebay. Not sure what model it's for....OZ.
