[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 349885, member: 2976"] I think I would probably take it to a professional to get repaired Debbie. A faceting machine is an extreme high-precision piece of equipment and I would probably not attempt too many kinds of fixes myself, even if I were more engineering-minded. I am lucky enough to live only a few hours drive from the manufacturer of the first-class machine I own (a VJ). I picked it up from the "factory" myself and noted that the workshop where the machine was made looks more like the control panel of the Enterprise than a workshop! While it can get frustrating at times, faceting should be a fun, enjoyable and rewarding experience overall. What you're having to do at present doesn't sound like much fun :( Get a pro to check it out. [/QUOTE]
