Beautiful rebuild. That gentleman has much more patience (and skill) than I.

paint.

Ditto. I admire the author tremendously.

I will not disassemble my lathe. I know how it will end up.

However, by now I have fixed a few known problems with it, and
stripped it off most paint. I still need some parts to do precision
tests, once I am done with it I will start painting.

Looks like a strong-assed lathe, very muscular. Really nice.
I couldn't even *think* of starting a project like that!

Looks very solidly built.

They had similar lathes in Russia, called 16K20.

I believe that a 16x40 inch 16k20 weighs almost three metric tons.
