If it's not broke, don't fix it. Don't take the spindle out needlessly. Measure the spindle diameter at the bottom where the pin goes through it and give the machinist the measurement . You will only have to take the turntable to a machine shop to have it plugged and resized. The spindle is not needed..

If you have a Harbor Freight in your area, pick up a cheap pair of calipers to more accurately measure the spindle.

If you were a machinist, you wouldn't want any dimension taken with a cheap pair of calipers from Harbor Freight.

I am currently laid up with the gout. Will look at this when feeling better. Thanks for all the help from everyone.
