As a fellow owner if an MP-4,
I would like to offer my sympathy for your situation.
These machines are just so beautiful.
I hope you check your machine out and find it not too bad.
Best of luck.

The place I served my time at had the 1940's version of that machine. It was in a sort of greenhouse/ shed that had been partially made from the packing case it came in during the 1939-45 War. Wood was hard to come by in those days apparently.
They are a work of art in my opinion but you can't give them away over here nowadays.
Regards Tyrone.
Hey Tyrone,
Very cool that you used one of these MP-4 machines.
I have the exact machine that Glassman has pictured here.
I have a question....
Are there any safety stops for the down and up quill feed?
I have been very careful not to allow them to feed the quill
to the limits. Just wondering.
Also, there seems to be a drain hose from the table area
that goes back to the sump of the transmission gearbox.
Additionally, on the reansmission gearbox, there seems to
be what resembles an oil pump. It has a plug in a pipe
thread port. All this make me think that the transmission
gearbox has a pump that can be used to pump gearbox oil
for use as a coolant/lubricant for cutting/drilling/boring.
Seems very odd to use gearbox oil for cutting lubricant,
but sure enough it appears that the table drains back to
the gearbox sump. Any insight into this??
Also, how much did you use the small spindle?
Mine has a WW 8mm collet. Thanks.
