Lathe Teardown and Initial Cleanup

I spent the weekend pulling the lathe down to just the headstock and the bed. I did discover a few discouraging things in the aprons though:

Hmm, I think I figured out why the power feed wasn't working....

I am still puzzled how I missed that little fact during my initial inspection... I guess I was happy that the chuck only had 0.003" of run out and that the bed seemed in pretty good shape.

There is also some wear and tear on the inside of the apron, but nothing fatal. I am currently trying to find replacement parts or better yet, a replacement apron assembly. I have a lead on one at Plaza Machinery, but I an still awaiting confirmation.
