* Something very important to note:
At 10:12 I mentioned I fiddled with placement a bit more. At that point I did use super grease on the worm wheel. However, I didn't include that shot/info for no apparent reason.

I am a beginning restorer and I am going through the hands on method of learning. I share what I did to get the machine into a working condition. I definitely do not know everything.
