Man, it is getting harder to stay encouraged with this project as I go deeper in to it. The ways are really worn, but at least evenly through the travel of the carriage. Just had the spindle repaired at a camshaft shop. Got the apron and change gear box off and pretty cleaned up. The gear box is worn out. Shafts are 'wallering' in the housing, idler gears are worn oversize. started taking the change gear box apart. Will look at remaking shafts, if possible, and or bushing the gears and housing where the shafts run. Fortunately the lead screw is in good shape, even though the half nuts are shot. (got those coming)
