Cheap at half the price, wait a minuet, that's more expensive than mine including transport!

To follow, the end of cross slide lead screw woes to follow shortly!

DavidA:
First thing I had trouble drilling 5mm to thread M6

Isn't the correct tapping drill for 6 mm in steel 5.2 mm ?

Dave.

appletree:
I generally work on the principle that within reason the correct tapping drill is the biggest one you have which will pass through a nut of the thread you wish to cut and just sometimes one that nearly passes through if only a couple of though too big.  Don’t get me wrong I am not being rough only where I live you cannot just pop out and get the correct size.

Wow - that's a very early model, note the clutch lever sticking downwards out of the top left hand corner of the headstock (the later ones, like mine and Matt's) have the clutch lever sticking upwards at the bottom right of the headstock - a much better position, because you don't need to step to one side to reach it.

I've asked the seller for a photograph of the screwcutting dial plate, if it's got one, hopefully that will let both Matt & I run our screw cutting dials properly!
