Hoping to find some Britan Repetition lathe users or clutch experts.....
My Britan lathe is permanently in high speed clutch and will not come out of it. Even when the lever is in neutral the spindle is still moving (at high speed). Lever will move over to the right but when attempting to engage the low speed clutch there is too much resistance and pressed more the lever will break. When motor is stationary, with one hand trying to turn the the 3 speed pulley and the other grasping the high speed clutch, they are locked together when clutch lever is neutral/wobbling. Any ideas?
