Pardon the mess. This is the restoration up to date. The workhead is removed for repairs to the collet closer mechanism. The table has been removed to repair the taper adjusting screw which had frozen to the nut! Also I am having to make the slider bar for the repiprocating table feed which is mounted underneath the table. I haven't done much work this past year, but hope to make significant progress this year.

Fortunately, I was able to find a manual for a slightly earlier model 104 on Ebay, which should help considerably with restoration efforts.
