Lol I did but a few weeks ago I was offered my old Nova lathe back and my son went and picked it up for me the rest is history lolLOL - how on earth....I thought you downsized your lathe - lovely still!!!
Sounds like you have been there and done it LOLAh the joys of a rotating headstock !
It’s when it’s out of balance and the whole thing walks towards you that you worry .
Nice platter
yes sat a large mate on the lathe bed near power socket with instructions to watch and if the cable to plug starts to get a bit taught to hit the off switch but stay sat on the bed to reduce the walking !Sounds like you have been there and done it LOL
