Tim nailed it. The shim idea worked like a charm.
With my digital calipers, I measured the play in the headstock - .077 to .080.
I had a piece of scrap hardboard that was just shy of 1/8 thick. A couple
passes thru my drum sander and I got the piece to right at 80 thou. Then I
drilled and cut it to match Tim's measured drawing. I loosened the headstock
housing screws and squeezed the shim into place. Reassembled with 3/4" screws
and nylock nuts. (For anyone's future reference, my screws were 10-32.)
If there is any play left, it's imperceptible to me. I'm sure my LOM is better
now than it was brand new.
Thanks to all. I hope everyone stays healthy.

Subject: Head-stock Play
Hello All,
I haven't used my LOM 900 for a few months, so today I cleaned and lubed it up.
As part of that effort, I noticed that the head-stock has a bit of play in and
out along the X axis - about 75 thou. I'm curious if that is inherent in these
machines or has mine developed too much slop. If the answer is too much, what
do I do about it?
Thanks very much in advance.
Jon Erik
