I will presume you know the machine type Jazz, and that your silk purse comment is warranted ,
But would it really be so hard to replace with Chinese Ball screws

Yes, I do that's why I posted what I did but you obviously don't otherwise you wouldn't have linked to a ball screw which has end machining for a BK bearing when this machine doesn't have any.!

How difficult is like saying how longs a piece of string.? For me, it would be a simple thing because I'm kitted up and have experience but I suspect from the OP's post he isn't and doesn't so maybe not so easy.? But in either case, it's still a PIG and no amount of lipstick is going to change that.!

Use it to learn on, sell it, and move on is the best thing to do with these machines IME.!
