And is it possible to "ping" our Austin, "Bong" perhaps, a more resonant sound befitting a grander body.

Have now. single feedscrew with square thread (unless it's an ACME) and what seems to be a bronze nut on the underside of the cross-slide. Naturally, I took my eye off the ball on the one that was on ebay and missed the end of the auction, mind, that was a used nut with a new screw; on the face of it, I'd expect more wear in the nut. I did however track down some of the endfloat and eliminate it; play in the handwheel end of the thing.

I've not measured it - I'll reassemble it tomorrow and have a look.

As fractions of a rev of the handwheel- a couple of large divisions is fairly normal, tweaked, like we can do on ours, and its down to 3 small úns.

I'll have a look when I've reassembled it. The play between the handwheel and the thing-I've-forgotten-the-name-of that bolts to the front of the apron was an obvious one to take out. big divisions are 10 thou on this one - 200 thou per revolution.
