Another thought is that the grub screw may have been flattened at the tip over the years as first one side then the other of the groove pressed on to it. Turning it even a fraction may have jammed it against the sides. If you gently use the allen key one way and then the other only for a fraction of a movement at the same time as moving the wheel back and forth, it may free it.
Cheers,
Jim

Thks
Thanks for that. I have done that now (turned screw in and out slightly, many times) and at least the slide is moving more freely. The screw just will not undo. I think I will strip the hex in side the screw if I put any more weight on it. Now that the slide is moving in and out I will probably leave the screw in there. Only other thing would be drill it out and retap???
Thanks for all your comments.
It's a great lathe and has cleaned up well. Some rust on the chrome bars meant I had to use some wet and dry and kero so the chrome is dull here and there but functional. It has the bowl turning accessory also ,but the tool rest for that is missing? Thks again guys.

Fixed
I finally fixed the problem. Decided to go for broke. Wound the screw out by putting a shifter on the allen key to find that the screw has two flats on it. I thought it would have a round end with a slightly smaller diameter. I was trying to turn it in the slot, no wonder it wouldn't come out. It burred the slot where I turned it but was able to clean the slot up. Cleaned up the two flats and the slot, Re-assembled by pulling it out the rear setting the screw up then sliding the quill back in. All working beautifully.
Thks

I know I'm resurrecting an ancient thread, but I just ran into the same problem.
I had a single grub screw with a machine flat .
I also tried wiggling, but that didn't work to release the quill. I used a piece of pipe ~300 mm long as a handle for my allen key and got the grub screw out. I then removed the handle and hammered the quill out using a rubber mallet and a pine block.
The grubscrew hard made quite a gouge in the keyway of the quill and had also significantly raised the lip, which was why it wouldn't release by itself.
I sandpapered the inside of the keyway, and the raised lip, and it slid back in by hand. I put the same grubscrew back in and it all works smoothly.
I also made a mental note not to touch that screw ever again.Matthew
Be alert; Australia needs lerts.

One of the earlier people was correct that Record no longer reply to questions about old lathes. I do have a manual (PDF) if it would help anyone
