I think that the price listing is of the format pounds/shillings/pence which was before the UK decimalised their currency in 1971. According to the Bank of England inflation calculator 9 pounds in 1939 would be 484.88 today.

Thank you! much appreciated

Nice looking spindle! One of the questions I’ve had in replacing an existing headstock and spindle is how do you ensure it is parallel with the ways and matches up with the tailstock?

Thanks for your comment! I am still working on the exact procedure so I will get to this topic in the next video.

and after welding you think the bearrings are still in line ?

Most likely not, it might not be that noticable but (line) boring after welding would be the best solution. That's outside my capacities though.

The price is in "old money". 9 pounds, nine shillings and no pence, so, 9 pounds 45 pence in modern decimal currency. Cheers
