Try using a heat gun or hair drier on the plastic to see if it will help with restoring the color. Start with a little heat a distance away and gradually increase the heat but not to the point it starts to bubble or melt. Stadiums use heat to restore the color of the plastic seats and I have seen ot...

I Installed the slides for the drawers then got the back installed and the top fastened down. Hubby finally picked a board that I had laying around for the front edge banding and drawer fronts.

Thank you, for your replies. Sorry, I should have thought re: language differences......... It happens at all speeds - it becomes slightly smoother at higher speeds but still very much there. I shall try to measure the runabout, both radial and axial when I get back from work tomorrow. I'm interest...

I'm thinking near total disassembly of the headstock for the PP1 to PP2 kit. - David I believe it will be a complete tear down. If you look at the parts for the PP1 to PP2 kit, one of them appears to be the quill feed pinion. It looks like it is longer. Probably so the quill feed handle does not hi...
