MickyD - A heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS. You've inspired me to try metal polishing........
.....and I'm wondering if a polished headstock would be to much?

Mickyd, Congratulations! I envy people like yourself who have the skills, committment, attention to detail, and patience to do restorations at this level. I hope you can find time to squeeze in some wordworking projects also. Keep us posted. Thanks, John McCrossen

When I ordered my bearings, I told the guy they were going in woodworking equipment. I had the reference listing that you posted in this threadon bearing replacement. (p.s. how'd a software guy become such a "bearing head"?? )
Are you saying above the the GREASE ooze is what is shielding and protecting the bearing from crud? It does make sense.
I just realized that I never documented what replacement bearings I installed when I did my rebuild so here it is:
My 2 Gilmer drive sleeve bearings installed on my Greenie are Koyo PN6205ZZC3 ($9.63 ea.)
My 2 motor bearings installed are Koyo PN62032RSC3 ($7.80ea.)
My single quill bearing is Fafner PN202KDD5C1 ($19.70 ea).
p.s. I noticed you added your Greenie SN / mfg. date to your signature. GREAT IDEA! I am going to do the same. EVERYBODY should.
Where did you purchase your Fafnir PN202KDD5C1? I have been looking and I've only been able to locate C0 (normal) radial clearance.
