Have you seen the information pack that Tony Griffiths (lathes.co.uk) does on Drummonds? It includes a number of useful drawings. I have just come in from cleaning all the parts in a bath of toluene and then applying nitromors to all the painted surfaces. Once the paint is off and then these parts are degreased in the toluene the whole lot will be ready to go in the Deox-C. I've started examining the piece parts now that the dirt is off. So far I've discovered that my bull wheel has a crack right across the grub screw hole.
