Default New Lathe Problems

I've just bought a new lathe that has a few issues.
1. The tail stock hits the inside of the saddle lifting it off the way. I've
spoken to the guy at the shop and he wants to just swap the tail stock with
one off the demo lathe he has. Will this be ok or are the tail stocks fitted
to each lathe?

Thanks in advance


Put a center in both the headstock and tail stock. IF the height of
the centers is the same, then the tail stock will be fine.
