I have a Record CL3 lathe that I have recently started using. I noticed that it was getting rather rattly and discovered that of the two grub screws supposed to be holding the spindle pulley in place one was not in situ. I have since found it in the headstock and replaced it but the two screws always work loose causing me great frustration at having to keep stopping to tighten them up. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so can they suggest a solution. I have taken the shaft apart and can see no obvious defects but did notice that there was quite a lot of oil on the shaft (probably due to my over enthusiastic use of the oil can). Could this be the problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Peter
