Hi all, new to this so bear with me.
I've had the above machine for about 20 years but not heavily used. Recently it's started making such
a disconcerting racket and cutting badly on one side. Trying to find the problem I found that the cutter block has begun to vibrate with a lot of movement on the opposite side of the pulleys. Looking closely it looks as if the holding point is shearing off. Question is, can it be repaired? Looks like a strip down If so, is it a user friendly option for a numpty like me or cut my losses and bin it? A new machine is not an option nor is a costly repair.
