There's hope on the horizon. P has dismantled my old JML cleaned and greased/oiled the bearing and is confident it won't squeak. Tomorrow morning's loaf will be the proof of the pudding (or bread). As it was only £15 in a discount store at least 20 years ago and it has served both mother and I all those years it has done me proud. P said it deserved resurrecting if possible.
