lathe troubleshooting

I've bought a 60's make powermatic 45 vairable speed and am still getting acquainted with it. I've notice wobble on faceplate turning on three separate faceplates but feel no bearing play and see nothing obviously wrong with the shaft. Would appreciate any trouble shooting assistance.

that suggestion seems to put me on track, I can produce no wobble with the spurr but measuring the threads show .020 undersized compared to a 1"8 bolt. I've got a friend with a newer lathe and am going to visit  this morning. So far it sounds Like a weld up then turn back down at the least.
