9 does not touch 35 at all. 35 and 9 do NOT appear to be worn at all. As I rotate the selector dial, these two items do not touch.

I took off the tinwork to get a better look at the cam mechanism that changes rpm's on the machine. Is the cam supposed to be in contact with the small wheel all the time? When I turn the external handle to change rpm's, when I look at the cam I notice it is not in contact with the small metal...

I drilled a half inch hole in steel and there appeared to be no belt slippage. I put some oil into the holes at the tops of the pulley spindles on the Reeves drive as recommended.

Do Walker Turner drill presses reign the top shelf of the vintage small machines and does Buffalo sit near the top, also? Looking at both a Buffalo 15 and a couple WT's at present, just wondering what the status of both these machines are. Going to buy either one of these, trying to balance out...
