I'm a proud owner of a vega 24!
I have made a few changes here and there giving me a little more flexability.
Feel free to email me if I can possibly help in any way.

Vega 24
That was my third lathe, used it for a year and really liked it, especially for its low 0+ speed (the best ever for sanding!). If you're just doing bowls, you should really enjoy it. I bolted mine to my concrete cellar floor and was glad I did.
Your recusitation should be well worth it.
My hint would be to have a table or shelf nearby to put the tailstock on. It's got some weight, as you know.
