The lathe is imported by Summit Machine Tools from Poland as far as I know Ken. Its all metric except for the lead screws to give imperial dials. The fine thread to adjust the preload on the thrust bearings is 1 mm pitch.
Will give straightening it a try Steve but it would have to be real close as the bearing that supports the shaft is a couple of inches long as is the block that holds the two halves of the nut, not much wiggle room.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
