Love this kind of project. Do you have more photos? Or still a WIP?
Parts are on the way now, I can take some of the assembly. I mostly just have photos of it apart so I can remember which order they go back together haha
Here's a photo of all the gears after I cleaned them (don't leave them wet like I did in this photo - they will eventually rust. I later sprayed them all with AMSOIL MP which is like WD-40).
You can see the worm follower gear is worn out BAD. The symptoms of this machine were that it would studder/skip when encountering load.
