After completing the merino/angora scarves (and discovering some squeaks and rattles) - I thought it worthwhile to give the Macomber a good clean and fix the small problems.
The cleaning was simple - a quick vacuum with a brush to get rid of the fluff and static clinging 'fur' from metal and wooden parts alike. AND under the loom on the floor where the fluff turns out to be exactly the same colour as the carpet! Mental note to put a coloured rug on the 'soon to weave' list.
Fixing the squeaks was also easy - it turned out to be heddle number 2 that was squeaking - and in fact the lam associated with it was binding slightly in the slot on the side of the castle. Some dry 'slide all' in the slot solved the problem.
With that it's all ready to be dressed with the CF warp.
