Well I'm back home and picking up where I left off. I still have green to get rid of on different small pieces and some inside of the cabinet of the stand. Am I crazy to get all this green off just to paint it green again?
I am finding some prices on the bearings. I have sent emails out and gotten back a wide difference of prices. One bearing went from $15 to $65 in range. All of the bearings I have requested are name brands. I really don't want to replace a bearing after all the work I am putting in this lathe. The bottom line is $90 for all the bearings plus tax and shipping. My wife is buying me the wrench and indexing plunger for my birthday this month so that will aid the restoration. Now it time to find the primer and paint for the lathe so I can begin to start the reverse process.
