Can some of you more experienced reconditioning guys have a look at this thread and give me some advice? I've torn this machine down and want to do whatever needs to be done before putting it all back together. It is currently not feeding well at the extremes of saddle travel - the cross feed steps are small like there's resistance or binding, but only at the ends, and much more so at the rear. I've also noticed there is no scraping or oil flaking anywhere - is this normal for these machines? Anyone else had a Micromaster table off and can confirm whether they were originally scraped or flaked? I did find an old Series II brochure that shows the machine with the table off and it sure doesn't look like the ways were flaked or scraped in the photo but it's a digital photo of a screen printed brochure so it isn't the clearest.
