I don't think many folks would put in the effort you have Darren, well done.
I suppose that's why so much of a tool's value rests on the handles and controls being intact, just a few missing handles and they are furnace fodder to many buyers.

Nice work on the mill Darren. That's going to be a real nice mill once it's all up and running.

Today I reassembled the back gears. I forgot to take pictures of the actual process but it was a simple matter of 4 bearings, 2 gears, one fork and a lifting cam.
I made a new knob for the engage/disengage lever, which I was worried may look a little odd (I made it the same size as all the others). I placed it on the head to see the scale and I'm actually quite pleased with how it looks.
I also put the belt guard and drive assembly on to, just for a quick look.

It looks great Darren. Using the engine stand is a brilliant idea.
