Hi Everyone,
After a wait, finally got all the quality replacement bearing for the motor box. Spent some time installing the them and what a heck of difference !! Very very smooth and quiet. Still using the original belts, however replacement belts from Dayton have been ordered and waiting.
Once I have the new belts and the last of the lathe vibration removed, I can concentrate on finishing the tail stock, table, and saddle. Then all new wiring, the stock stuff is too light in size .....
Cheers,
Roberto
