Thank you for the kind words! The guys who did the spindle for sure made that better than new, it's really nice and way more true than the way the factory made it (I did some measuring before sending it in). Being able to score the period correct W-T 1/3hp motor and switch from @mattthemuppet2 really set this project off. I'm a little disappointed in my paint job but I am pretty sure being a little less obsessive was a good thing. It was all I could do to not start polishing and nickel plating more stuff to make it more pretty. I left it as original as I could but didn't leave anything not in good condition unfixed. The new, made in USA J33 taper chuck with the threaded collar was also a score that makes this thing nice. I haven't added up to carefully (on purpose) but this wasn't a cheap tool after all. I'll guess around $400 but I like it and will enjoy using it.Wow! Awesome job, probably better than original spec.
