Can anyone help? I have just purchased a 280vs with motor control for vari speed and the headstock is knocking. Also the backgear selector engages neutral on it's own. I have stripped the headstock down and can not see what the problem is. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME!! I also have a TDS 1/1GB MK2 and a AWE Horizon Viceroy milling machine, I have manuals for both if anybody needs a copy.[/b]

Hi Parcelsafe,
Was this the 280VS that was on ebay recently?
The knocking - does it occur in back-gear and direct drive?
Is it there if the motor is run and the back-gear selector is in neutral?
And the back-gear selector - does it not stay engaged either back-gear or direct drive? If so it sounds like the detent ball/spring is missing or damaged.
My 280VS knocks in high gear beacuse there is a tooth damaged on one of the gears - so I need to get / cut a replacement one day.
I have copies drawings for quite a lot of the headstock.
Please PM me and we can continue the discussion via email.
