When I said "first one I ever used", that was around 50 years ago! I started very young. Looks and works like it's good for another 50! Then my son can deal with it.

Dave,
I only see one pic, and I'm VERY interested because I got one with my SB 10L lathe, and mine is more than "a little crunchy." Poor baby spent some years in an open barn. More photos would be welcome. More info on how you got it apart, too. Mine spent a few days soaking in evaporust after a day in purple power degreaser. Still real crunchy. I have a small arbor press in the home shop, and a 20-ton HF hydraulic press available at work. Looks like I'll need a new bearing, from your photo.?
Thanks for a really timely post!

Hi guys,?
I have a Royal Products , Regal live center that either came with or was purchased along with my dad's lathe. Whatever, first one I ever used.?
Recently rebuilt it. Nothing wrong except for the crunchy bearings due to dried up? grease.?
Couple pics of the process.?
Dave?
