I finally got it downstairs and on the bench. I installed all the extras that came with it. Speed reduction pulleys, lead screw hand crank and upgraded spindle and lead screw indicators.
What a job, double roped from a trailer ball and hitch using a block and tackle and heavy rope with two half hitches. I used a two wheel furniture dolly. My friend Bioman brought his engine lift. Whitworth came to lend smarts and muscle.
It went down the stairs slick though.
No way in the world to ever get this thing or my gun safe back upstairs! :drinks:
