Federal Recorder Art Deco Lathe replacement outside In feedscrew

yo! I got stuck with one of those beautiful art deco Federal Recorders, but the feedscrew was inside out, making it relatively useless. It was also 78 only. I am using one of Jed's external belt drive motors, so speed was taken care of, but that feedscrew was a serious issue. So I sent it to my machinist and had him make a slightly finer pitch replacement that runs outside in rather than inside out.

If you are sitting on an inside out federal and want an outside in Federal, slide into them DMs and I can have my machinist make one for you.
