Paul,
Your headstock internal metal gears were one piece or 3 pieces?

Did you stumble on the same problem that the keyway/key was too short ?

The fact i can find NO mention of this flaw has me puzzled
Thanks

Mike,
I, and my family, are a bit gobsmacked that this bit of "dad being his usual "I can do better " (quote from the youngest brat ) has become some thing of a hit.

I will continue to post what I do and find as GOTCHAS so that others avoid my mistakes :-)

thank you all for the recognition nice that others can enjoy this mans work.
