Just bought this Oliver 159 Lathe on Craigslist. The tail stock spindle is about 1/8" lower than the head stock spindle. Clearly, this won't work. Is this the wrong tail stock? Is there a missing spacer? Its weird, both pieces sport the same awful multiple coats of paint, right down to the original, right back to the 1940s. Any ideas?
