I would talk to Jacob Anderson:

His web site is hard to read, but here it is:
http://www.jacobs-repairshop.com/

I have his repair video, which he also sells. You can learn a lot by watching it:

I don't think Jacob monitors this list but I know there are list members who do repairs and I'm sure they'll be here soon.

Good luck!

Skip is I believe mostly a 10E/10ER guy.

Jacob Anderson is supposed to be pretty good, but I would recommend our own Bill Mayo (he is thanked in the credits of Jacobs DVD).

I have had work done by Bill and he is an outstanding guy to have work on your stuff.
1984 Mark V 500 and an early 1954 greenie. jointer, belt sander, bandsaw, jigsaw, planner.
