Some progress on this Emcoturn 320 rehabilitation. I've got it mostly cleaned up. Now that I can see all the fasteners and such, it is time to start addressing the functional problems.

I got the...

I, too, have recently acquired a used Emcoturn 320. The previous owner said that the X-axis seals and bearings need to be replaced. I haven't even begun to address that issue at this point. I'm...
