Is anyone looking for a "project"? I have an Atlas 10f which is complete (without chucks but including changewheels) but needs some work (understatement) to return to a good workable condition. The bed etc seems fair but the headstock bearings have certainly seen better days. It is the Babbitt version that we discussed here:
Please don't bother if you only plan to break it up/sell it on E-Bay, I am quite capable of doing that myself thank you. However, if anyone is just starting or finds themselves a little short at the moment and wants an "informative" project that could end up with a usable machine let me know. Even better if you know someone (young or old) who wants to make a start and you can help guide them through the rebuild send me an e-mail. Usual first come first served rule and my only input is to be here for you to pick it up and point to which bench it is under. Wife has offered a cup of coffee or tea though to weary travellers.
Regards
Keith
