I took notes and some pictures as work progressed, and the result (the

That was a nice write-up! *

Yes, interesting project.


No matter, it was a good story. I hope that you will tell us if you

My SWAG is that (if it's not a bent spindle) it's play in the bearings
which might be taken up with shims, and that he already knows that.
But I doubt it's the simple procedure it sounds.
