I spent some time working on the main spindle and quill assembly this morning. The shaft was re-cut to 3/8th x 24 TPI, cleaned and polished.
I re-assembled the main bearing and collar and there is surprisingly little play now that it's all been re-built. That doesn't mean the runout will be any good, but that will have to wait for full set up before I can check it.
Anyway, here's the re-built spindle, quill and new Jacobs chuck assembly.
