It comes with quite an elaborate overhead drive that is on a shelf at the moment...pending my ministrations. I have to admit, not by intent, but workshop building has evolved as the hobby, but I'm going to break free and make more models soon:)
Let me know how you make out with the F1. I have one as well, and looking at the drawings ....that spindle doesn't look easy to rebuild...confirmed by your statements....If I was to have to do that I would make a drilling quil head with a new 90 degree mount and make it bigger!.....Probably go ER collets too. For now I just oil it... ALOT!
Thanks Stuart! Come by for that chat anytime you like

There's probably 4 oscilloscopes there. Two need a bit of work, one of two 465B's are what I mostly use. why 2? they seem to come way so darn cheaply I like the idea of having a spare. For the $100 I'd get for it, having a spare of one of the nicest but aging scopes ever is (for me) worth it. Its not as hoarding-like is it probably comes across, I sell lots too. I've built the shop up a lot by buying in bulk and selling most duplicates. Scopes, new offshore or old quality standbys are fairly inexpensive now, you should get one. I'm toward the beginner side on electronics but like learning and I can't image trying to learn without a scope to see whats happening. I'm at the point where I've had a bunch wins fixing stuff, and some of my circuits work, but I've a lot to learn. Of the things I've undertaken, electronics has been the most difficult to learn on my own.
