I have recently started turning. My father, who passsed away in 1999, left me his lathe which he had for about ten years. It seems to be leaking grease from the head stock. I don't hear any unsual noises and the lathe seemes to run well. It does get warm to the touch with steady use. The lathe was made by the Conover Woodcraft division of Byrom International Corporation in Chardon, Ohio. I have not been able to find the current address or phone number for this company nor have I been able to find them on the web. Do any of you know if the company still exists and if so how can I get in touch with them? I tried to take the lathe apart but was unable to do so.
Thanks for your consideration;
