Made a little more progress this weekend. painted the base and knee. Had to order a new bearing for the knee screw. Sooooo, waiting for that to come before I go any farther.

Great looking machine. Looks like it has been taken care of. If you don't mind saying, how much did you have to pay for it?

I gave $3500 for it. It came with a 15 inch troyke rotary table, a kurt vise, a tapping attachment and a ton of other tooling.

I ordered a new knee bearing from H&W. This is what I received. It is sealed on both sides. They charged $63.00 plus shipping. I found the same one on ebay for $17.00. With free shipping. The part number is 63306LLBC3/L627. Made by NTN . I hope somebody will benefit from this info.

Got it up and running this weekend. The head needs painted but it is still in great shape so it will stay the ugly green for a while. The vfd works great.

Nice job! You'll get lots of use out of that machine. Enjoy.

Thanks, that's good to know and I'm sure that everyone except H&W will be happy about that.)
