Hi Waggoner - no problem - once I've scanned the leaflet, I'll add you to the mailing list....

I was not so much going to look at my VMC, which has visible bolts going through the base of the column into the base, but to look for a Myford original leaflet on the VM range. At the risk of upsetting Martin, he is wrong in that the bases of the VME & VMF are the same, cast, but different to the VMC, which is folded sheet steel. Similarly, the column of the VME & VMF are the same, but again different to the VMC. The weights according to the leaflet are: VMC 305kg, VME 387kg, and VMF 444kg. It is only an educated guess, but I would assume the column on a VMF must be removable from the top, as the weight would make tipping it over less than easy........

I can scan the leaflet if it is any help, but the deep tray on the VME & VMF base obscures any details of the fixing bolts.

Regards
