Quill stuck out.

Post by Thomschuck »

Issue:
I :removed the quill from my Mark V headstock. I have tried to get it back in all the way. It stops, but not fully in. I get the splines in then it stops about 1” from complete retraction. I know I have a broken spring and yes you can hear the spring twang a few times when putting the quill back in. I have removed the quill before and it went right back in. What has happened?
