I would appreciate any help. I wish my first post wasn't with this concern. My 15" Palmgren, [of which I'm on my second head] has crapped out on me. Not that this is any surprise. Don't know if its the drive belt or the reeves hardware/belt. I have no movement of the headstock spindle at low speeds and on higher speeds I can stop it by hand easily. Any help would be appreciated. Meanwhile I am getting ready to get a Nova 1624 or a Jet 1642.
The great "value " of the palmgren has turned out to be a nightmarish move on my part. It will wind up in the corner of the shop, maybe as a buffer or a doorstop.
