Rebuilding a Warwick 3.5 x 18" (Also known as Grayson, Granville, Randa) Help Wanted

[scott88]

Hi everyone, I've finally got my hands on a lathe after years of wanting one.

It's only a small one but has screw cutting capabilities.

The last time I used a lathe was about 16 years ago

Can anyone help with telling me what I need to do to fix the cross slide? It has a gib? for the bottom slide with the slots in. How does the gib stay in position?

The oversized screw was made by the previous owner with intentions on making a handle for it. I also need the brass nut which the screw works with to move the tool holder base (sorry for the lack of proper terminology)

The tailstock isn't original but has been machined to fit, the previous owner did this and assures me it's all lined up correctly. I don't have a tailstock centre to check it.
