Hello Charles, yes strange about the vertical head configuration. Also note that the ram configuration is different as well. The orange ram has an additional 2" of travel and the hand wheel is straight while the ram hand wheel on the other machine is slightly canted? These machines ser. numbers are not that far apart, can't imagine more then a year off. I have no idea why they would change the hand wheel orientation. Totally agree about the MT vs ISO taper but you know there are some die hard Deckel members and if they have an assortment of MT tooling then it might make sense to swap spindles. I have a few original manuals for the machines so let me know if you need any info out of them. Thanks, Barry
