[QUOTE="Debbie K, post: 362094, member: 10510"] It turns out that the brake was fairly easy to fix. I got the shop foreman at my local gem and mineral club to help me analyze how best to fix it, and we tried the simplest things first. I got a large thumbscrew which enabled me to apply a little more torque to tighten it, and we roughed up the shaft that the brake rotated on with a nail set which raised and lowered the metal on the mild steel shaft. Now it's possible to tighten it without it slipping. Debbie K [/QUOTE]
