Hi Ray, it looks like you've picked up a real keeper, that Myford looks very well kept, and in good shape. I would definitely keep the sherline, while it probably won't do anything the Myford won't, it probably does the very small things easier, and it can always be used as attaching parts for the myford, such as a milling column or cutter and grinding head for the cross slide. In my opinion, you will probably make as much of your kit as you buy, because much of it will be special to the line of things you are turning out at any given time, and the more common will be looked for and found used, more often than new. Have you turned anything on it yet, to test its truth? you're going to be boring cylinders on it, so headstock square with the bed is a must and facing off flat is pretty important, and tells you the state of your cross slide, relative to the bed. If those are off, it's much nicer to find out before you have something important mounted, and have to straighten it out. That certainly is a fine looking lathe all in all, congratulations.
