Still there?

Bought a second Mark V and the quill will only extend about an inch. I think the teeth in the shaft and gear are gummed up. I've removed the back cover of the headstock and that doesn't really give me access to the quill internally.

I bought a second Shopsmith Mark V and the quill will only extend about an inch. I think the teeth might be gummed up with dust. I've got the back cover off the headstock, but that doesn't give me acces to the quill internally.

Need some assistance servicing the Mark V single bearing quill.
