If I understood your previous post correctly, you are going to put the spartan into the 66's case. It won't work the 66 is full size and the spartan is 3/4 sized.

I messed up it is a 99 (not a 66 - they mix me up and the worst of it is I have 3 66's that also need tlc) and a Spartan and a 3/4 Alden (15 clone 3/4 size) the one screw I found in the bushing is out of the Spartan - the machine has been sitting for a time so I squirted some Triflo into all the cracks and crevices for an over night soak. They fit the cases as well as can be expected. The bentwood case has been modified - ahem - someone cut holes in the bottom to to 'make' it fit - then they added washers and rubber feet to get it up off the floor of the case. The 99 is in it for now. The Spartan is in the 99's case. Is there any way to adjust the take up lever - both had dried up oil on the side that rubs - is that the fix? The 99 wires were better condition than the Spartan so the Spartan has good wires now. The 99 will get a hand crank once the bushing transplants. I've not had to use a puller to get a bushing off in the past - pop out the pin or screw and it slides off.
