Keep in mind that replacing the main shaft bushings requires tearing the entire machine apart (est cost 10 grand or more with labor and transport)

I've never heard that this was an ongoing issue on M&R presses of any year, only falcons that were sold around the time of Bergmann's acquisition of Progressive. What do you mean by a lot? You heard about one from a friend of a friend and you then assume it's a whole bunch of them or you know of two and you automatically run with it and say there have been a lot? I'd love to see documentation of this or hell, actual customers of these machines that have the main bronze bushings worn out.
