[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 54858, member: 2879"] Thanks Bill. I'm pretty limited in the shop because it is set up as an industrial engraving operation. Everything is pretty small, and as you can see, crowded. I wish I had the equipment and skill to do frame fabrication like some of our more talented members. I do have 2D and 3D Deckel and Gorton pantographs and while they are not CNC machines, they can do some interesting things with a good template. I reckon if you hit anything hard enough it will bend, and what it takes to bend the Vincent UFM is pretty amazing. I can see that the later headstocks were probably stronger, but this type 1 only weighs 6 pounds. VOC spares has new headstocks in stock right now, and complete UFM's and oil tanks, though they are out of stock. I do wish quantity would bring down the cost, but this is an exceedingly small market, especially when matching numbers and originality seem to matter so much . Ron [/QUOTE]
