You lucky dog, would love to see some pictures of it. Does it look homemade or commercially made. Is there a nut left there for the x-axis. Is there a screw for the y-axis, you could use the same size and pitch as the y-axis.
If it's not nailed down, it's mine.
If I can pry it loose, it's not nailed down.
