G4016 Lathe difficult speed changes

Actually, if you want to measure for a bent shaft, measure the backlash between the gears in multiple positions, ie rotate the spindle manually.
 
Had the gearbox been designed in Imperial units rather than metric, it probably would have survived...:)

I think I don't care enough about the shaft to measure it now that it's working, but if I do there's a nice journal between a couple of the gears to drop a DTI in without submerging it.

Thanks for the help.
