Re: lathe vibration
If the countershaft is bent, even a little, it will cause a LOT of vibration.? Rough handling during a move can bend the countershaft or the big pulley on it.? That is a common problem.

Re: lathe vibration
You may have motor issues. Check that first. If not you can go to a heating supplier they have pads for furnaces, you can set your lathe on them and bolt thru them?

Re: what chuck would my atlas have
My 1950s (per registry sn estimate) TH42 came 2nd (or more hand) with a 5” BB 435 Atlas 3 jaw chuck dated 6-51. May or may not be the original chuck? Don’t know if this helps.

My 1946 TH42 came with an Atlas 5" 3-jaw chuck, IIRC. It's FUBAR, and awaiting time for me to try out one of my tool post grinders on it... If it's a real Pratt it should be a very good quality chuck,

May want to check the bushings at each end of the hinge pin, and the pin itself. Might need to replace one or more of them. Do you have access to a surface plate? If so that would help you check the
