That second capstan has been siting in the lathe from over a month, and Doug Stout a retired machinist showed up and not only completed the bore but showed us some really nice tricks.  Tomorrow is the final fit up.  The rest of us spent the day stretching and breaking ROV cable.  Very surprising is how crappy Cat5 is and how much better RG6 is at haft the cost of Cat5.  The tick now is to find some strength members that can be added to the RG6 that will take the load before the RG6 reaches it’s limits.
