Was cleaning this old girl up the other day and took this video and wanted to share.

Nice job, but I heard the record skip when watching the video.

Nice Job, but that spinning base would cause me some concern.

[Negster]

Thanks guys, I wanted to use the tail stock but didn't have a live center large enough. I did have the spindle speed higher but the lathe tried to walk across the room so down it went.
I have a senior turret coming my way that is in bad shape ill try to take before and after pics that that one.

Put a board on the base and push a live center into it. It would safer than nothing at all.

Ya gots a lathe. Make an adapter. A dead center with a dab of of grease plugged into the adapter would do for a quick polish. In a pinch I've gotten better results with a dead center at reasonable speeds .
