Aramis aftershave, was like marmite love/hate?

I've just checked my W812 tailstock and it is definately MT1. Perhaps some thing is stuck in there? Try bashing it out with a steel rod perhaps (towards the headstock obviously). Mine has a live centre MT1 in't tailstock at the moment. I'm curious now, please let us know how you go on.
