An update to my machine modification (coil winder)

A while back I started modifying one of my machine to increase its output. Got it working, and stalled a bit because I needed a part. I proceeded to start a similar project with one of my other machines, stacking coils.

LEAKYSEALS951 asked if I would post a video when the rest of it was completed, so here it is. Need a bit of fine tuning though. I want to replace the first pulleys with very lightweight aluminum or nylon/delrin. The weight of the steel pulleys causes a very slight wobble to the winding face.
I think I'll add an idler pulley/ Eventually, I may try to something that doesn't add as much side pressure on the spindles... gear mechanism or something, I was warned about premature wear to the tailstock spindle.
