Morning all. My Arundel K450 has started to get very noisy. I've found the root of the problem: the headstock bearings are shot. The trouble is I can't find a lathe manual anywhere (even Tony at lathes.co.uk doesn't have one!). I'm fairly handy so I'm prepared to have a go at replacing them if I can get the bearing spec. Equally, I'd be happy to send my headstock to someone more familiar with fixing machines. Does anyone have any advice?
In short:
> Is there a K450 lathe manual out there somewhere that I just have not stumbled across yet? (I feel like J R R Hartley this morning!)
> Is there someone who fixes Arundel headstocks?
Thanks for reading this, even if you don't have an answer. But if you DO have an answer then thanks even more!
